Hi MF,
Actually it's rather hard to know what the initial colour ever was as over the years colours will change due to age, heat and exposure to UV which has dramatically increased over the past 20 years. Even though some parts of an item may have been covered from sunlight doesn't mean it will be as per the day it was originally applied. All colours will change with time and honestly if you don't have an original never brought out of the carton since day one to compare to, you'd never know.
Cheers,
BB.
