My OEM filter coloring looks like the one in this picture -
probably has a charcoal type material they treat the paper with during manufacture that gives it a dirty look.
After hitting it with air compressor nozzle in reverse direction to blow out the yellow pollen we have here in NC, looked very newish again, just like the picture. Maybe they purposely make it look dirty so folks will be tricked in to replacing them early and then the Delco Execs can get their retirement home in Hawaii earlier, lol ;-)
