What color was 63 Valiant Hood Emblem?

Yes, it is strange. Can you post pics of your brochure's emblem? Is it a 63 V200? I would hate to paint all black over it if there is some reason for the V shapes behind the "V." The V-shaped shadows are so close to the blue & red shapes on other pieces. Maybe they changed their mind during production? The two other emblem pics I posted were of 63 pieces I found for sale. Here is my actual piece. It is a very original 63 V200 car...hmmmm
