Steering column color

I recently posted a question about the woodgrain interior trim, and another question occurred to me.

 

I have a 1991 with the burgundy interior.  My steering column is black.  I installed a factory steering wheel with the factory black leather cover, to replace the steering wheel with the plain rubber rim.  

 

One day at the junkyard I saw a burgundy leather covered steering wheel.  Thought about grabbing it, but thought mine would look funny with a black steering column (still think so).  The truck in question had a burgundy painted steering column.

 

So I'm wondering why my steering column is black?  Was there any rhyme or reason for a steering column to be color matched?

My SporTruck with a tan interior has a black column but my two Pioneers have color matched columns, so maybe trim level?

Makes sense.  Mine is a Sport, didn't even come with a factory installed radio.
