Color of Cheyenne emblems

[eighteenninetytwo]

I have been refurbing old cheyenne emblems ins anticipation of eventual body and paint work on my 75. The old ones i bought had a sort of mustard yellow color on them for the CHEYENNE and BLAZER lettering. I duplicated this with a color match of auto paint but then got to thinking:
Q : Was this mustardy color originally the GOLD color that Chevy now uses for their emblems and the metallic bit has disappeared?? OR am I OK with a plain yellowish / mustardish auto point?
