Mine are black. I'm pretty sure they are original! I hope this helps!

Mine were (and are) a semi-flat black.  Not sure if semi-black is the
original color - they could have aged enough to look semi-black.  Do not
believe they were silver or body color!  And remember, I am a second owner
who talked to the original owner.  He did not repaint them.
