We only have a listing for the gray mats. I'm not sure how someone wound up with anything darker but Honda only lists the one part number. Wish I could be of some help.

actually, the color of the mats is a big misconception from my experience. They only come in one color, and some ppl say it's black, some that it's gray. In fact, they are dark grey. And they perfectly fit every E's color interior.

Just imagine a very dark grey, or a faded flat black. That's what that color is. I have one set and my interior is grey/green, and they fit prefectly, but they'll fit perfectly in your black, as well.

the listed color grey or black is that big misconception. The sellers just don't know what the exact color is. For some it looks black, for others it looks grey. But OEM makes that All-Season Mat only in one color - dark grey - that matches every E's interior.
Looking at the picture before I got those mats I also thought it looked like a true grey (light grey) and when I was picking up all the accessories I got when I bought my car, I was checking to make sure those, where there is a choice, came with the right color, and when the question came to the mats, the parts clerk said that they only come in black. But when I unpacked them... they're dark grey.

Hummh, I find this to be very interesting as I never read anybody state this fact before! Good to know as I want them too, but I was always under the same impression that they were light grey .... glad to hear they're dark :-)
I just recently posted a similar Q on looking for the same material all-season mat for the cargo area? Why in the world was that never created at the same time .... I just don't understand ;-\
