Default Valve Spring Colors

Trying to find out the valve spring colors for 98 -03 for LS1 and LS6, any assistance would be greatly appreciated!

So far I, here is what I have. (Not much):
2001 LS6= Blue (Supposedly only "Blue" work w/any LS1)
2002 LS6= Green
2003 LS6= Yellow


This is all I have. Please help me with all other years, etc.

All of the LS1 "beehive" springs work on all years. Just get the latest ones.

All the stock LS1 springs I've seen are unpainted. I did see some on a 02 that had a brown stripe on them.
All the 01 LS6 springs I've seen are blue.
02 and 03 LS6 springs can either be yellow or green.
Any of these springs will fit a LS1 head with a stock retainer and keepers. Whether or not any of these springs will work on a LS1 depends on the cam you are using.
