The surface of steel can be colored by plating, paint, rusting or chemical treatment- but the metal retains it's silvery color. BTW, steel firearms are treated to darken their color- "bluing"- and it is a form of controlled rusting.

Carbon steel is grayish silver generally. Yet it can be made into black carbon steel during the manufacturing process when high temperatures create a thin layer of oxidized iron on the outer surface.
