Original color????

Well they were delivered with Dow#7 which was a cold tint chromium solution. Race cars (289) were painted white and the 427 cars also started gold tint however ended up black centered.

My guess was that there was no specified color probably what was on hand. Or the gold tint went towards dark shade after brake dust collected and thickened.
Black, dark grey, chromium gold or white ......

I remember the first time I was with Jack and 3020, the black painted mag wheels were done with a brush. Brush hair and streaks were included...
