Default Hypercoil springs

Did hypercoil ever produce gold colored springs instead of the usual purple? The reason I'm asking is because I picked up a pair of springs that the seller was claiming are made by hypercoil in a "rare" gold color. I just want to know if I got shafted, because he was selling them for SUPER cheap.

Dark Blue is the only color that I am familiar with under the Hyperco brand but they do make them to be sold private labelled for some tuners and other brands in a number of other colors. These may be made by Hyperco to be sold under another brand.

They always do dark blue, unless it is a private label spring, like Lee said. If it is a private label spring it would never be advertised as Hypercoil though...
