I find all your input about steering wheels fascinating. I had no idea there was so much to it. It appears to me that the color on the backside of the wheel is a more accurate measure of the true color, and that the color on the front is a bit faded. I wonder if some sort of polishing would bring out that color better? I purposely have not done anything to this wheel but have left it as I found it and will do so until I am absolutely sure I will do nothing detrimental.
