Bill,
The TD (and TF) steering wheel hubs were painted a bronze very similar to
the instrument center panel. (Obviously, with two different suppliers for
those parts, exactness of match probably varied over the years!) The
steering wheel rim was a molded material which had a swirly effect of very
pale brown with whitish streaks, definitely not the same as the hub color.
