what color are valve cover gaskets? (02 gt)

What color are the valve cover gaskets for 02 gt's?
The reason I ask this is because one is red and one is black for my car.

what could have gone wrong for the original owner to have changed the gasket?
I looked at it again and it is definetly a different gasket from the red one.

one last thing
the metal thing that I think is the fuel rail above the injectors is very polished and looks after market. Is this what all yours look like or is mine after market?
