Default 68 Decklid Latch/Handle Color

I'm storing my 68 Vert and was wondering what color was the Deck lid latches and release handle/rods supposed to be ? I've seen parts for sale that were body color and supposedly NOS latches that were black. THANKS

I don't know if production practices changed, but here are pictures from an original paint 72 that I owned in the past
