Question Bowtie color?

Does anyone know the correct color for the Chevy bowtie emblems on my 67 Custom C10 long bed? I have seen them red, blue, and gold. Mine were red but I changed them to blue. Also, I have the custom gray centered hubcaps with bowties on them. What color should they be?
Thanks!!

red/yellow

I probably wrong and the guys that really know will straighten me out, but I remember the 67/68 grill bowties red (I painted mine yellow to match the body) and the hubcap bowties a golden yellow.

Now we'll wait and find out if I'm right.

Red. Just a bit darker than a standard wheel chock.

67 hub caps should be white/red like this. This is a NOS one I lifted off an ebay add.

68 hub caps should look like this. They are not the same as a lot of folks think.

If you are talking about the full 67-68 Stainless Steel wheel covers the center bowtie should be th same red/orange chevy color as you see in the hub caps. I can get a picture of one if you want.
