A composition comprising:
- about 58 to about 66 wt. % polypropylene;
- about 26 to about 31 wt. % rubber;
- about 6.5 to about 10.5 wt. % talc;
- about 0.5 to about 3 wt. % colorant;
- about 0.1 to about 0.8 wt. % ultraviolet light absorber;
- and
- about 0.2 to about 0.9 wt. % hindered amine light stabilizer,
- wherein the chroma value of the composition is between about 3 and about 25.
