Hard to confirm 'exact' color from where I'm sittin however, it appears to be matte or satin black. The car in question has earlier style, (up to MY08) painted G55 18" wheels and the spare tire cover ring is finished in body color which is not a factory option. Factory matte finishes were first introduced for the MY2010 and designo magno night black aka matte black in 2011 so one would assume this G was either resprayed or wrapped.

More than a few
Hi,
I dont think they do the matte black only the matte grey here. I picked up my Graphite G55 in April this year (1st customer car in Oz delivered).
If what they say about the care needed for that paint, youd be mad to have it on a G in Oz although I know someone did order the grey from the same dealership as mine.

Thanks for the replies guys.
I'm thinking it's definitely a type of grey. After a closer look, the bonnet is black.
Would love to see some pics of your Graphite P.I. (Magic Login) as that is the colour I'm considering. Shot's in Sunlight would be amazing.
Did you end up getting the modifications done?
Anyone had any experience with the matte paint?
Thanks.

If that's a factory color, then it's probably designo magno night black, which is a premium color available for the G-Class since the 2011 model year.
