What colour panniers

As I now have the new FUtFut, in the 2-tone Darkness Black, anyone know for sure what colour the panniers are supposed to be?
One side has some 'texturing' which I plan to sort over winter, but want to get a close match to the rest of the bike.
Looked at RS paints & their kits on Ebay, but it only seems to give the one clour. Obviously most of the bike is the gloss black, but the panniers & small panels on the bike look to be a titanium / bronze type colour.
Anyone have info? could it be these parts were sprayed with the matt 'Ash Black' that prilia had lying around from prev. years???

It's possible yours are replacements for an earlier or missing set -I've occasionally seen seen 'new' Fut panniers advertised - someone on AF1 a few years back discovered a cache of several sets - IIRC they were a neutral dark grey sort of colour.

As regards the correct colour, I suggest you ask on AF1; also, PM Teulu - he's the only person I know with a black Futura, but I'm not sure if it's the Ash or Darkness variant. I'll also ask Pat - Captain Futura - although he's abandoned motor bikes in favour of mountain bikes, he's still the UK No. 1 Futura anorak.
