I was next to a 2005/2006 cl65 today what looked to be graphite grey. Now I know it wasn't flint gray nor techtite as last year for techtite gray was 04.

I tried looking up the colors on google but with zero luck. Maybe it's a special designo color?

This car looked amazing in this color. Would love to know exactly what it is as I'm in the market for an 05/06 cl65 and this is the color for me.

Definitely not Granite gray. Much more like the designo gray that's on the 2012 cls in your link but was this color available in 2005/2006?

But I think there were only a couple hundered CL65's brought to the US so finding one in that specific color may be a daunting task...

Prob flint gray. Good luck finding color-it's badass. Look up member TRAKCAR. I think he had that color 65. If interested I have a fully loaded 05 cl600 sport(silver/charcoal) w/69kmiles for $19,500.

12 years later, and I finally found it! Just purchased a 2005 CL65 Designo Graphite Grey with 20k miles. It does exist! No joke, guys, I've been searching for this car for this long. I thought it would be cool to bring this thread back to life haha
