What is the color of my dash and steering wheel?

My 2006 c280 Luxury interior is Alpaca Gray and exterior is Iridium Silver, but the dash and steering wheel are a much darker gray. I want to buy an upgraded wood and leather steering wheel, but I'm not sure about what color to specify. Anyone have an idea?

If you want to upgrade, get a 3 spoke steering wheel. The 4 spoke in these cars is awful to hold and awful to look at.

Thanks tjts1, but I prefer the 4 spoke over the three spoke. I am simply exchanging mine for one with laurel wood, so I need to find out what my steering wheel color is.

Looks like the same thing they use in the C Coupe, with the Oyster gray interior.
Somewhere, and for reaons I don't recall I wrote down "Dolomite" as the color.
I put a lot of time into this portential project, and then ....love to get back to it.
I have a spare one I want to refinish, ie 3 spoke, WITH the
sport nubs.
I really would like to find the correct color leather dye to refinish it.
PM me if you have any luck.
