The steering cup is definitely the darker blue. I actually had removed the original in favor of factory turn signals so I grabbed the original and cleaned dust in the covered area, a coat of wax for good measure and then out to compare with dash top. It appears slightly darker whicj I blame on 50 years of the dash top fading a shade. Again, the steering wheel is more difficult as it has a purple tint to it. Same fading story in a different material but I have to assume that it was surely originally the same color as the cup behind it. Also, the horn button center is a blue shade instead of black. It would be a darker color also but hard to tell if originally matched the steering wheel color.
