1969 ZL2 Undehood Insulation

[hugrz28]

I'm wondering if anyone might have an underhood insulation pad that they could share a picture of. I'm curious about the color of an original underhood insulation pad. I've seen many used, dirty originals and they appear to be a flat black in color. I suspect that it my be from years of dirt and grime (oil) but thought I would solicit input from the experts. Looking forward to any input you might have

Thank you,

Dan

Thank you William for posting the picture! To me it looks like there are black strands in the fiber weave that make it appear a little darker. I hope to get a picture of a friends original underhood insulation. If I do, I will certainly post it here.
