Water neck gasket ?

[DRGT350]

Experts...

Is the water neck gasket painted black? Or is there a proper color for this gasket? And where to get one? 
The fel pro ones are blue/

Thanks,
Dave

Which year and engine size are you asking about?

Can't think of any that were black originally

Off white/light tan gasket material was common for this purpose and many other gaskets
