Stock Engine Color

I have a 1990 3.1 RS and have the heads off (along with everything else that comes off for thier removal) and want to paint them before putting back on. What was the stock engine block/heads color for this year?

Correct me if I'm wrong, but they stopped using Corporate blue around 1983 on F-Bodies (and probably on all GM engines).
