Raleigh Sports original cable colour?

[Mark Manley]

I am building a 1950 Raleigh Sports and am trying to find out what colour cables were originally fitted to these bikes, I have found many photos of them from that period but most or all of them will have had the cables replaced and are either black, white or grey, can anyone advise what they would have had new?
