Engine color

Im thinking that I read that in 66 FEs were Ford blue.

My 66 with an early May 66 build date has black valve covers, what little paint is left looks orginal. The intake is blue, but looks like it had a repaint sometime in the past.

Didnt 65s have gold valve covers?

So what color should my engine be?
