Was Dark Blue/Graphite available from 2005-2006?

Wow, tht's very strange because I had a brochure from 2005 and was very disappointed that you couldn't get the graphite interior with TB. And every resource I've seen shows that TB wasn't available in 2006, just Lakeshore Slate or Athens Blue (on the Coupe only). In fact, when I was buying my car through an Infiniti auction, I was told that the TB/G wasn't an option for 05-06, confirming my suspicions, so you've got a bit of an anomaly there David.

I also had this confirmed when I bought my car. The Infiniti dealer was going to an Infiniti-only auction and we looked into the color options, not only of what was coming up at auction, but of what was even available those years. I was told TB and LS did not come with Graphite as a standard color option in 2005 or 2006.
David, you're a lucky guy. Wanna trade?

EDIT: Just saw that David is Canadian (or at least in Canada). It's very possible that that color combo wasn't available down here in the US but was available up there. Which makes Infiniti's color options logic even more baffling.

Nissan did the same thing with the Murano. 2004 you could get blue with black interior. 2005 you could still get that combo, but only on the SE and not the SL. Made no sense.
I'm very happy with my DG/G combo, but in hindsight, I might have purchased a TB with Stone* and swapped out the Stone carpet for a Graphite carpet. Then only the doors and seats would be Stone. Having a Stone carpet in Michigan is just asking for trouble. I'm sure you can relate. My Mazda CX-7 was setup like that, black dash, black carpet, white-ish colored seats.
* couldn't do it with Wheat because the dash/steering wheel are also Wheat. They're black with Stone.
