Need your opinion: Is this color different?

Long story short, trying to figure out if I got sent the wrong finish of wheel in addition to the wrong sizes before I mention it to the vendor. To me, looks like I got a battleship grey color (looks that way in person). Looking at examples of other forum members with the exact same make, model and finish of wheel from the exact same vendor, I can tell a pretty big difference and that I was expecting them to look like these other examples. Just need a second opinion. Note color, brightness and metallics. Thanks!

battleship gray?? never heard of that color... looks like gunmetal to me.

Those all look like gunmetal VB3s to me. The variations in shades are really due to different lighting conditions.

Yeah, those all look like gunmetal to me as well. Sometimes in different lighting situations they can look darker or lighter depending.
