You don't need to know the color of the crankshaft that the rods came from, but you need to know the codes that are stamped onto the crankshaft that you will be using...
You match those codes up with the numbers stamped onto the rods, and that will tell you the correct color code you will need to use.
Do you have a repair manual?
