correct engine color?

I have a 1965 352 stock 4bbl engine in my galaxie.
It has the C4AE heads not sure about the block casting number .
Anyway I was wondering what the correct engine color is supposed to be (OEM)
Right now the engine is black with gold valve colors
The air cleaner is gold and the lid is black .
Is this correct or is it supposed to be the "old ford blue"?
I would like to keep it as stock and original as possable .

65 Ford truck motors (352's) were black with gold valve covers. The air cleaner was a oil bath model, also painted black. I believe the gold air cleaner is the Galaxie version..
