Default Door Hinge Color

Hello,
Can anyone tell me what the factory correct color is for the door hinges on a 1971? Is it black or the color of the body?
Thanks,
Scott

Body color. The doors/hinges were installed in the body at the time of paint.

Thanks, Mike
I was not sure because the vendors replacements are black.

Have to be painted to suit body color, suppliers can't paint all the hinges different colors.
