Are ALL Tilt Columns painted black?

[roger0080]

For either Automatic or 4-Speed tilts, are the always painted black?

I bought a 4-Speed tilt column and it is black.

My interior is Olive green with a standard 4 speed column (Cheyenne K20, BTW) that is green with a green steering wheel.

If in 1971 this truck had been ordered with a 4-Speed tilt column, what color would it be? green w/green wheel or black w/black wheel ?

I've never seen a tilt column in any other color than black. I was thinking of painting the tilt column green to match the interior as it is now. Of course, this column green color is a lighter shade than olive that the interior is painted in. Does anyone have a paint code/color for the column by chance?
