The color is hard to describe accurately. Based on closer inspection of some of the nooks and crannies of the wheel, it looks as if the wheel is painted a base silver, then a goldish layer is airbrushed over the top, and then a special layer of frosted clear coat. There is a YouTube video that describes somewhat the process for painting the actual body. I'm sure some of that is applicable to these wheels.

Here are a couple of shots in different light of my set which has yet to go on the car. For what it's worth, I don't think the color looks "deep" at all.....at least not my definition of deep. The lack of a regular clear coat is probably why. I would describe as very dynamic.
