Look at the back. If it’s dyed, then the back of the panel will be black. If it is the same color as the front, then it maybe molded that color. I can’t see them dyeing the backside of the panel, that would be a waste of dye. If it is the same color, then you can scratch it back there, it won’t hurt anything on the backside of the panel. If you don’t see black, the the panel is molded that color. I know that is what their plan was with them producing their own panels, was to have them molded in the correct color.
Now mine, the ones I got from them 4 years ago, those were black and dyed Charcoal. I’m pretty easy on my door panels, so they are still like the day I got them. I did have 1 minor scratch when I was installing them, but I have the same dye. I just sprayed a little in the can cap and used a touch tip and dabbed the scratch. Covered it right up, and it’s been fine since.
