Another silly question: is EDDY MERCKX on brake bridge painted black or fuchsia?

I am working my way through this thread and came upon this post. Maybe my own bike can help decipher. This is the steerer from my 1985-ish

55 cm Professional, Reynolds 753. Top line matches serial # on frame
Professional Reynolds 753 in Kelme colors (Thank you CM, for your other thread in which I learned of the early Kelme colors!). I wonder if the "Go" is actually a number - 60, as the same position looks like 31 on mine.
