89 TTA/GTA Mesh wheels, different ''gold'' paint shade?

Is there different ''gold'' shade in the TTA/GTA mesh wheels?
or was TTA/GTA had all the same gold paint?

Looking to get my wheels redone, and as-is they look darker than what I see on other TTA/GTA.
Even at sunlight thaey look darker.
Is there a paint code for them?

This is my car:

Also,The color is called Gold Poly and the GM color code is 52 with a WA listing of #9008.... the RPO list should read 52P on a GTA. For 1987-1991 GTAs, this code refers to the paint color of the wheels.... for 1992, the wheels' actual RPO code changed over to 52P while the black style was coded as PW7. The 1992 color is still the same as the earlier years.

The wheel color is listed in the latest PPG literature as a General Motors Commercial Color (????) instead of the previous GM Wheel Color designation.

The matching PPG number for this color is 3917. This number should be all you need to get the paint from PPG. It is available either in regular cans or in aerosol spray cans. For paint brands other than PPG, refer to the two correct GM codes listed above.
