Steering wheel color....

OK....my truck is Medium Green with same color interior......dash pad is a dark green (no metallic) and the top of the dash is a dark greyish green, Steering colum is a different dark green color (lighter than the pad)....What color would be the correct color for the stock steering wheel?? I bought the truck off 2nd owner and as far as I can tell it was untouched....original steering wheel that is in the truck is a dark Blue color. Could this be correct?? or should it be a Green color?? I just want it to be correct....interior is the stripped down interior no bells and whistles in the trim area....Thanks for any input......Paul K

I was thinking all steering wheels were the same color as the column
origianally But I am no expert, I know the tilts were all in black.

My 72 medium green C10 had a green steering wheel that was fairly close to the body color. The horn button was slightly darker. I have seen several that were similar.

The column in my truck(non tilt) is painted dk olive, and the steering wheel matches it. So does the dash pad and the seat.

My truck is a light/medium olive green, and the interior is just like you described yours. The OEM steering wheel (since changed) is a medium dark green. HTH
