Default Cragar G/T wheels

Can anyone tell me what color these Cragar G/T wheels are? My eyes deceive me into thinking they are black with a slight hint of blue? When I touch them up with anything that has a slight blue in it, they look black by comparison.

I’m beginning to think they were a satin black and have just faded.

They were originally like a flat black. I have seen some old, original close to NOS ones.
