Props to those that have swapped interiors but not me. It's all down hill after doing the dash. We put the dash in Eurotours car because of his craptacular dash warp. I also would never swap interiors due to losing my SE seats. That wheel is black and must be left overs from the ST200. It's not a Focus wheel!

You are indeed color blind. That wheel is as black as the ace of spades.
Also as I mentioned the air bag cover will have to be dyed AS I PREVIOUSLY MENTIONED. No black interior was produced.

 Glad someone else caught that. And on my monitor, it almost looks to be more of a grey, ALMOST midnight blue. I'd be willing to be it's really black, as seeing a steering wheel alone is a lot easier to judge the color as opposed to the midnight blue inside of the Contours.

I'm willing to bet that the steering wheel is for a Mercury Mystique and that it is indeed black.
However to confirm all of this I just emailed the seller and asked for the factory Ford part number for it. So we can end all of this confusion.
Plus if you look at the curvature of the ST200 wheel in the picture and compare it to the one being sold you can tell they are nowhere near the same. That ST200 airbag would not fit on that wheel correctly.
I'll post the sellers response when I get it.

color mixing would not look bad imo. Unless, perhaps, if we're talking blue leather/black leather  But I think gray or tan leather would work just fine? I likes. The steering wheel is one of the only things that is getting dirty constantly and to the point that it is wearing the color away, or staining. (on the dash-side so to speak)

Alright, I'm bringing this thread back because I think I finally decided I'm going ahead with this. A new wheel from the stealership is $292.68 or $217.76 from Team Ford and finding a used MB wheel without major wear for sale is near impossible.
Can anyone recommend a reputable leather dye in Midnight Blue?
I checked the company that dion used for his interior, but they don't offer MB, just some different blues.
