Why no Graphite on a Dually?

I went in to purchase my truck yesterday and I was considering the Graphite color. It's an awesome color, but I realize that I had never seen it on a dually before.

I like to be different, so the fact that I never have seen it before made me want it even more...

But sure enough Graphite was not a color option on a dually.

Any ideas why?

Maybe where they manufacture the Wheel flares, they are not equipped to do that color. I seem to remember hearing that they come pre-painted. Just a guess.

The same reason I wasn't able to get my dually in Atlantic blue. For some reason dodge will only put the basic colors on their duallys, must think those of us that own duallys don't want something fancy and eye catching. And if that's the case, why is the laramie available on the duallys?

I was told the reason for the limited color options for our duallies was that the fenders were painted separately from the rest of the truck. And that being said, those colors in mention don't match up well with the truck after painting. I guess it has something to do with the fenders being fiberglass. The colors tend to be different once placed side-by-side. I actually heard of a few guys with white trucks that had the same problem with color differences. Who knows
