They will sell the Rubicon Fenders in a primer that you can paint to match your Gladiator.

These are the Rubicon JL Fenders, but they will release the JT ones in the future.

Personally, I would avoid the body colored fender flares and stick with the flat black plastic. My JK had flat black plastic and looked about as good as the day I got it when I traded it in. My gladiator on the other hand, took a rock/gravel impact and peeled the paint right off sometime before the 800 mile mark (so zero off road driving at this point). I felt the fenders are too sussusceptibto damage with how narrow the body of a jeep is compared to basically any other vehicle.
Luckily the body colored plastic fender flares do have what looks like 3 mil plastic protection covering most of the forward portion of the rear fenders. Unfortunately the rock impacted outside of that protection and I didnt even know the plastic sheets were there until I was washing it and the jet stream from the nozzle started to peel it away.

What I will do if I can find some body colored fender flares is to have them clear wrapped before I put them on I was afraid of rocks chipping them

I know mentioning patience on this forum at the moment may be a hanging offense but if you wait a while people will be selling their painted fenders as soon as aftermarket off road options are available. You could also post to swap in the marketplace section. Throw a little cash in with your black fenders and there will probably be someone out there that feels the opposite of you.

Why not wrap the ones you have in the color you want?
