This is why I think the new standard is nuts because not everyone considers dark steel blue to be gun metal blue. When the original standard was written they could have easily used the words "gun metal blue" if they intended the coats to be that dark. Instead they used "steel blue" with a qualifer "dark" in front of it. To me, this means that they were looking for a coat with the definate color of steel in it but a darker shade. Remember that color is added to the steel in order to get gun metal blue, so it is no longer "steel" in color.
