There might have been more than one color since the first engines were different than the later Mercury type which was a little more powerful. A few shots are attached of the Mercury pattern engine which matches the same color as the pulley and heads that I have.
The pulley on the other message is darker looking from 65+ years of NOS dirt. One of the engine shots was taken after brushing and wiping it down with oil on rags so it has a brighter and more glossy look with direct sunshine on it. The other shots haven't been cleaned up. You can see how dull it looks in comparison and could pass for a blue/gray shade. When cleaned and oiled, it looked like the more glossy shot of the front of the engine.
