Default 1967 GTO Deluxe Steering Wheel Ornament Color

What ornament color is correct for a 1967 GTO with Deluxe Steering Wheel? Part #9787893 in master books shows as fitting all 1967 Pontiacs with Deluxe Wheel and has a dark blue tint. I have seen them with a green tint as well. Does anyone know which color is period correct for 1967?

I've never seen anything but the Green ENERGY ABSORBING center cap on the '67 A-Body.
IIRC the Darker/Blue is PONTIAC= B-Body but I don't deal with many '67 B-Body models.
I'm sure others will chime in.

Green is all I've ever seen in the past 45 years.

Again it's my understanding the blue was used on B-Bodies but I can't verify this.
Here is a "Blue" one on ebay and it is listed for ALL, but again I'm not sure about this.

The Jade green is all I've ever seen on any '67 A-body with a deluxe steering wheel.
The GOLD GTO shown here was the last '67 to come through, and I'm 99% sure Robert supplied us with an NOS center cap to use.


Below is another example of the "Green";

I pulled a perfect '67 'Energy Absorbing' wheel center off a '67 'B' body at the junkyard a few years ago. In fact, it's on my '68 GTO right now because I've always like the '67 'brushed' look better than the '68 'blasted' look.
The point is, it was not blue but green just like the 'A' body center. Exactly like the one in Jeff's photo above.
By the way...I got it for ONE dollar...
