Default 56 convertible top weatherstrip

I'm in the process of replacing my top, and ordered new weatherstriping. The top is black, and I thought the rear mohair should be black. The package came today from Paragon, and the mohair was tan. Is that the correct color for a black top, or should it be black? Thanks for your help.

Time to call Paragon and have them send you a black one! They made a mistake.

Also, You will have to modify the front side rail w/s. It will require drilling a couple of holes in the front side rail frame.
The version that is correct for the early straight axels (up through mid 59) is not available.
