Well I am biased but......
That is my combo. Love the color on the CLS. The porcelain seats are really stark and believe it or not they stay relatively clean. The black wood is crisp and contrasts the porcelain nicely. There are many colors within the gray.....

It is rather expensive and one could mod or get some really nice wheels for the price. Exclusivity is great though. I have seen only 1 other grapite and that was on a 500.

THe CLS is not the daily driver and we have no little ones to scuff the seats. My jeans fade on the seats but it comes right off.

Greenish. The undertones are green metalic. The color is called "Graphite Green" outside of North America. I think it's stunning in the sun.
