The cream color is the plastic that was underneath the chrome that flaked off like every other parking brake has done.
Unfortunately, you have to buy the whole assembly if you're going to buy it from scratch new. But what I would suggest would be to just buy an aftermarket replacement, dremel off the old button, figure out what to do with the ebrake boot, and go with that instead. Looks much better and is pretty easy once you figure things out. I have some pics of mine on my build thread.
