    Yamaha c6 preamp color match?

    Anyone know what model Yamaha tuner color matches my C6 preamp? Have a T-80 that is a darker black than the C6 ... starting to annoy me. Hoping the T-1 or T-2 with the dial is a match but having trouble telling from pics. The C6 is a "flatter" black for want of a better description.
