How close are these two in color? If I have a SG winding check close to a TiCh hook keep, will they clash?

Tich
Insure that you click on tich - You will notice that the TICH is basically shiny black .

Gunsmoke is a shiny dark grey / black
Tich is a shiny black.

But the two do go together pretty well.

Your call.

Be safe

They are so close most cannot see a difference.

Just checked, i do have both, there is a slight difference when you compare them close side by side, other then that hard to tell, looked at few of my rods where i used both types of guides on the same rod ( my own rods, did not want to spend any extra money to get same type of guides). If you dont know you cannot tell the difference, running guides looks just a bit different then reduction, if you really look close and try to find difference.

Take a look at them ( in the sunlight ) That is where they will be fished

Bill, I don't believe that Marty had the parts in hand, so it may be hard for him to take it out in the sunlight and take a look. I haven't any experience with the SG check, but the TIiCH hook keepers seem to go with every thing.
