What Engine Color?

After cleaning off several pounds of oily crud from the 352 in my 1965 F100 I discovered that the engine was painted gold! Is this the original color? I thought that it would be "Ford Blue". Any info would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks.

My engine is a black, with blue valve covers. I need to degrease the block to be sure about the color there, but the valve covers are definitly blue on mine. It's a '66 352.
