It's actually silver in color. I have the same, 'Designo" interior in mine. My wheel is closer to light-grey, although I've seen pictures where it's actually silver, or at least silver-ish.
But like Benzslo says, good luck finding a dye that matches. Most upholstery shops I've contacted here in the states can't even get leather in silver, which probably means they can't find a dye in that color. You might have better luck checking eBay.de or other euro sites.

Also read around that you might be able to find it under the name of "designo silver" by this company for a special order: http://www.dynamixdyes.com/
However, I don't know if I'd spend a ton of money on this. There is a whole process on leather tannery you can learn about and I suspect even two tanneries using the same materials can produce different results based on method.
