Vintage road test photos show OE tubes were black; JM's '69 Camaro book lists them as black zinc. I believe some service replacement tubes were gold cad.

The ones my friend just picked up with his survivor smog set up are a dark phosphate.

My old worn original's looked like a flat black, or a very low gloss, like 10% or so, I  painted them with a dark zinc phospate  but not sure it looks exactly like it should., I may try a flat black on one to compare them.

Maybe this will help. It's a NOS smog tube for my 1968 L6.
