Austin-Healey Sprite - AH sprite 1 gearbox colour

when i removed the old - it was a bright metallic blue colour and was a ribbed model- i pressume not an original 1959 model, but a later more advanced ? say from a morris ?
any way when i last drove it (1980) it seemed to work well and propelled me along at 80 mph with a gold seal 948 replacement engine. anyway - what colour should i repaint it as i'm taking it right back?

It sounds like a later MG midget Ribbed box. Mine was unpainted.
