What color is the terminal insulation that gets screwed onto the coil for the distributor primary wire, on the '65 289 HP?

I rarely have a reason to disagree with my esteemed colleague , peer, friend, etc. but the green eyelet terminal is on the service replacement primary wire.  Original 289 hipo duel point dist primary wire eyelet is typically black.

    Bob ,
       I have to say I have seen more black than green for sure. I'll change my notes ( and the wire on my original engine for 477) that I used as a reference. My apologies for misleading  anyone.
