Color matching doesn't look right to me because you can tell the handle is so different compared to a normal handle; its not trying to blend in like a regular handle. For that reason I feel the design calls for it to be a different color.
That's one of the reasons I started moving away from the idea of going with the body color. Something about it doesn't look quite right about it. I also considered just having them painted matte black and calling it a day. Same look as Plastidip but more permanent.
