What is the paint color for the valve covers and air breather on a 1962 Ford 260 engine?

I have a 1962 Mercury Meteor and the valve covers and air breather are currently yellow. I do not know if that is original for the 260 engine. I would like to paint it back the original color.

Should be the standard "Ford Blue" . Dont remember anything that old having anything else. Air breather will be either black or the plain aluminum. Check the net for photos of your car in original form.

Ford engine components are 'Ford' blue. It's almost like a pastel blue, and has been for years
