Armrest color - is it really black?

I’m sprucing up the interior of my 2003 with Metropol blue interior. The plastic pieces aren’t blue, but it doesn’t seem to be black either. See pic. Kind of a graphite gray. Anybody know what color this is? Maybe a paint code or rattle can approximation? Thanks.

People have been asking for Porsche interior paint codes for a good long time, but I don't know of anyone striking pay dirt. A friend of mine has been looking for the paint codes for his chocolate brown '78 911SC's interior. I'm lucky that my 986's center console and flip-up armrests are a generic black satin. You might take an armrest to Industrial Finishes or the equivalent and have them try to match the color.

Anyone happen to know the best way to remove the factory "soft touch'" finish from the center console and armrests/door pocket covers? I want to retain the plastic's texture, so sanding is out.
