Color of brake hoses on 1972 csl

[RRichardson]

Hi all

I recently inherited a 1972 CSL (very lucky!!)

I am rebuilding the brakes and have the rear calipers off and brake system drained.

What color should the hoses that connect to the reservoir be? I have heard both black and also blue !!

Thanks for any help

Thank you for all the replies.

The car was originally a German production car. Does that make any difference ?

Thanks.
Ps will register soon....

No difference that I know of. They used to have a white spiral stripe, today they are just blue with white writing.
