I believe so, yes, at least all the ones I've seen in person or in pics appear to be the same grayish color.

I don't believe so. I found a 5-speed shifter plate in a junkyard on a grey center console. infact, I've yet to find a black version of the 85-92 center console

Can't say I've ever seen a black bird console 85 and up. Camaro ones were black, but I think all the birds were grey.

Nope.

I've never seen a black console, but I've seen black dash parts. No radio pods are black, they only came in grey. And since they match the console, I'd say that there was no such thing as a black console from the factory.

I was recently inquiring 'Modern Day Muscle' about their NOS Firebird consoles. They mentioned that there was a very rare black Firebird console. I am very curious to know what models these consoles came in. Can anyone find out? Maybe we should ask the question in the 'History' forum.

I've never seen a black one that someone didn't have dyed or painted. I'd have to agree that they're all gray.
