Hello Steve,
If the OP is referring to the Centre Console as the component that runs from the Radio Fascia to back between the seats, then this is black. The small storage box that is located between the seats, on top of the Centre Console is trim colour.

Regards,

Bill

Yes, it was BL saving a few pennies by producing a standard black moulding to cover the transmission, whereas it used to be a different leather covered trim on the previous earlier series. Same with the radio suttounding. SNG Barrett supply new mouldings for both at a reasonable price. Whilst the finish is exactly like the original, the transmission cover is a thinner plastic, and not quite as robust. As has been said, the leather covered armrest is the same as other series.
