Valve Stem Seal Color Code
The exhaust will be metal (often red) and the intake some composition (often green).
According to the 3 page procedure in the MB 126 Service Manual, however, the (MB) intake seals are black and the (MB) exhaust seals are green.

The seals I got were black and brown (despite the service manual saying "black and green"....I couldn't find in the ************** kit anything identifying which color was which.
So, so far I have one person saying that exhaust is black, and another saying that intake is black.... I'm still kinda stuck here. Pete.
