If you bought a top from a dealer after buying the car.. or on the day of
purchasing the car the factoy supplied them as black. A dealer could paint
them to match the car.
Now.. I believe if you ordered the car in adavance with a hardtop it came in
body colour as with GT alpine.. the top would match the car.
