Default Correct Gas Cap Color??

What is the correct gas cap color of a 1971? Mine is the color of the car (WBY) and I suspect that this was done when the car was painted by the previous owner.
Thanks
John

Mine looked like silver cad, no paint at all.

Mine was painted with the car also, but a replacement GM cap is "bronze" metal. (Not painted).

Just a side note, but replacement caps ARE NOT CORRECT as the spot welds are not the original configuration :p: :p: :D :D :p: :p: :cuss
