Default Valve Cover Color

Is anyone able to confirm the stock valve color covers for the 80 L48? I think its Blue but just want to be sure. My dad had a lot of chrome under the hood but I

am toying with the idea of putting most everything back to a stock look.

1980 L48 valve covers are painted the same color as the engine. All 1980 Chevys had GM Corporate Blue engines.
