Since nobody answered the OP's question...
The titanium knob is the same color as the Honda emblem on the steering wheel and has a very similar finish. It is closer to a matte finish than polished. I bought mine @ Honda. This is what it looks like:

I had the Voo Doo aluminum and now have the Titianium. I like the feel of the Titanium, it does feel heavier. Either one makes driving much more fun. My dad loves the aluminum one on his car.

I don't understand how you guys can drive with these tiny egg shaped oem shift knobs, lol. It doesn't naturally fit your hand, I always felt like I was moving a chess piece.

I took the Ti knob out of my S for a VooDoo countersunk aluminum and love it. A heavier knob helps with shifting effort, but I like the bit extra needed and the feel of the engagement with an aluminum knob, makes me feel more connected with the car 
But to answer the question, the Ti knob should have a grey or smokier appearance then aluminum, aluminum is more "silver" looking.
