Scott,

Use what was sent.  The body color is a poor method of identifying 
components because the manufacturer of the component can change the body 
color at the drop of a hat.

The references to component body color is slowly being purged from the 
manuals, but that takes time.  Be certain to read the errata sheet, 
sometimes information like that is covered in the errata.
