dan,
over the years i have seen caps wich seemingly once were black wich have
faded to a grayish color(or possibly the "dirty white" you describe?).
oils? heat? or some amazing parts cleaner ? i'm uncertain what contributed
to the discoloring of the caps. but most i unscrewed had black underneath
or in the threaded area where they were protected from exposure to what
ever discolored them. i have yet to see caps that were consistantly faded
or discolored underneath or in the threaded area.
chuck.
