Default Finish/color of factory exhaust tailpipes on a 78/79?

Hi, this is has been hard to find on searches - and in some pictures it looks like the tailpipes are black. My 79SC has a black tailpipe that looks stock.

This is for my 78 (79 model year) euro 5 spd. I just got rid of its holy Ansa, by having a rear muffler bypass-to-twin-tailpipes fabricated. Its a nice neat solution and sounds surprisingly restrained unless under load past 3k- about right for the car IMO.

The tail pipes are side exit, twin slashed/staggered at my request to look OEM - but they are in stainless of course, and just look too bling for my taste.

I want to dull them down..so can someone tell me what color they would have been at delivery?

Sorry about the terrible pic

Thanks

Perfect, Satin Black will look great. Going to fab a heat shield too, looks like they were also black.

Thanks
