What color are these Kooka levers?

[TPG-2000]

They don’t appear to be faded black, I can peel back the grip and underneath is the same color, was this the pewter color?
Thanks in advance for your help.

Black dyes are composed of many different base colours, as they fade the uv will bring out the main colour

Many blacks fade to an orangy bronze or blorange, blurple sometimes blueck
