Default water pump

On a 283 230 hp the water pump is orange. Is the shaft and four hole pulley/fan mount the same color or black?

The water pump shaft and hub flange were masked off with a cardboard tube when the engine was painted; they should be bare metal. Photo below cropped from a larger one, taken on the Flint V-8 shipping dock.

John, thanks. It makes sense that they did not get painted.
