Designo is a special appearance package that offers special order paint and interior color combinations. It is a rather exclusive and pricey option.
Unfortunely I don't think it will be offered on the W204, as MB never offered this option on the C-class in the past. They are mostly offered on the launch editions of more expensive models.
My favorite is the Java Black paint which is a very dark brown metallic (almost black), with the two tone saddle brown and black interior, which I've seen on the S-class.
The other designo color combination I like is the Obsidian Black exterior with the two tone Porcelain White (very white) and black interior.
If MB ever offered the Designo package for the C I would like to see the Cognac leather interior which we don't get state side, with Java black.
Do a "Mercedes Designo" search on eBay Motors and you will see what some of these color combinations look like.

Over here (Europe) Designo nappa leather is a standard option in the price lists.
Nothing else though, i.e. no interior trim or exterior colours like for example BMW offers with Individual on their 3-series.

I know it, couse I ordered it and they told me, that it will take them 6-8 weeks longer to make my car couse of this
, they got to attach it in another factory. Anyway, I still hope, that it will be faster than that

Designo has some very cool color combination's, but if memory serves me right it was a $10k option on S class models. $10k added to a C class would just be ridiculous. The only C class that you might have a chance with would be the C63 since its sent to AMG and they do special order paint there.

C220d Estate Avantgarde, Obsidium black, command, factory tint. MB CLK240 Iolith Blue / Pebble-Gone
I'm with AOWHAUS. I spotted the designo saddle brown black interior on the net and have to say that colour combo was beautiful. Its the classic combo. once Unbelievable.
I just ordered a c estate with the split sahara beige / black interior which is available in this country for the avantgarde (which i think is your sport). Thats as close as my wallet will go to the saddle/black combo. I did have the option of the cognac and actually have seen that interior on a few cars but I wasnt game to get it myself (i must be more of a brady bunch type of guy). Having said that it does liven the rather austere interior up a bit and with the black birds eye maple well it did look good.
the porcelain white / black interior would be something special on a c63 and just thinking about it i reckon it would pretty much go with any exterior color.
Cheers
