Do not make the mistake that thefillinstation.com's color has even a hint of blue in it, as it does not! It can be better described as "light black" rather than "dark gray".
Computers are horrible for judging colors.
The three original AD 216s which I have seen with my own eyes were even darker than that, and had no sheen to it. In areas where the paint was missing and was soaked with a layer of dirty oil, looked almost identical to the painted surface.
