Default Cam / Crank sensor colors?

Hey folks, if anyone knows clarifications to the below regarding sensor colors on Gen IV engines please let me know:

24X crank reluctor, 1X cam sensor (early engines)
Crank sensor: BLACK in color
Cam sensor: ???? in color

58X crank reluctor, 4X (later engines)
Crank sensor: TAN in color (I have also heard grey???)
Cam sensor: TAN in color

Much appreciated!

Both sensors on the Gen III are black, yes. What I don't know is the color of the cam sensor when it was moved to the front cover starting in 2005. Hmmm....

The new cam sensors are tan. For a while they were this kind of dingy brown color, but the new casting (old part number was superceded, no visible differences at all aside from color) is the lighter tan color.

Gotcha, I have a light tan one here too. So are the 1X and 4X cam sensors the same tan-ish color then? Or maybe I'm missing something here and they are actually the same sensor, and both work regardless of the style of lands and grooves on the cam sprocket (and the 24X vs. 58X style engine computer of course).
