Cgruett, Unfortunately the manufacturer changed the color of the rack and there would be no way to get the original since it has been substituted to the new one.

Hi James. The racks are constructed with vinyl racks. Rack Kit - Gray- Item Number: 4396840RC. Made by Whirlpool. Please consider this as an option. The rack is part # W10727679. Tomato (acid) based foods will create the rust issue you have. This is the best service bulletin we could find. Thank You.
