It is as close to French Gray as you can get, but a word of caution; If you're dipping the whole receiver in vinegar, Rinse it in boiling water as soon as you remove it from the vinegar bath. The gray appearance is actually etched, and the vinegar will continue to etch the metal until is thoroughly washed off. You can dip it as many times as you want to achieve the color, but only dip it for a minute or two at a time. It will remove any trace of case colors.
