Bumpers

My '97 Cavalier has sustained damage to the front and rear bumpers, requiring replacement of both skins. The body shop has offered two choices: body color or charcoal gray. It was explained that the skins must be painted to match the body color, but the charcoal gray can be installed "as is" right out of the box. I have seen bumpers that appear black in color. Could these be the charcoal gray skins, or did Cavaliers have a black painted option for the bumpers?
Thanks,
Ray
