Ford Engine Block Blue for correctness... otherwise, some folks match the
car color, and others paint it whatever they want.  Worst I saw was a neon
blue.  Personally, I paint all mine black.

***I'm just going from memory, but I think the Australian blocks were darker. I almost want to say black. I never really paid attention, I know the valve covers are black, which doesn't help much...
