What is your experience with gray leather armrest color matching?

Has anyone on Bimmerfest gotten matching gray leather parts?

After researching, ordering, and installing a black smooth leather tilting & sliding armrest in a friend's BMW, I couldn't wait until my $400 backordered embossed gray leater tilting & sliding armrest arrived from Pacific.

After weeks of waiting, I desperately wanted to put it in the car ... but ... now I am sorry I even ordered the armrest.

The color isn't even remotely close.
I'm so bummed out sad.

Is it just my bad luck?

Pacific kindly offered to replace the gray Montana leather euro armrest with the proper armrest color.
Update:

It's been months since Pacific BMW tried to find that gray leather tilting/sliding euro armrest spoken about above so I finally called them this week and cancelled the order today as it has been months on backorder. Pacific has been good about it; it's just that I don't want to wait any longer. Besides, the rolled-up pair of gym socks I placed in the center armrest console tray as a temporary workaround has been comforting my elbow for months as I awaited the BMW gray leather euro arm rest to arrive.

Pacific asked me to confirm the part numbers, so I had to look it up all over again. To save others all that effort, see below what I've collected as the top-ten BMW E39 Euro armrest links (other models have similar adjacent pages so this should get you close for your model).
