I'm afraid I don't know the exact shade of white, but I'm pretty sure they weren't Konis.
Every post I make comes with an implied request for corrections. I'm here to learn.

+1. Koni's were not original on 69/70 Shelby.

Were Koni Shocks anything other than reddish-orange?

Can't recall for sure. Got a look at a set that were stamped AUTOLITE with 69 dates years ago. Very odd but can't recall what color they were painted at the time. Car was an original export Boss 302 I visited on an overseas vacation. Wish I had taken pictures but predigital years

Good evening Larry,
I had paint custom matched to the protected areas of my shocks. I'll try to get the number on the can tomorrow.
Here is a before and after pic.
