Rear speaker wiring

Does anybody know offhand what color my rear speaker wire should be.. this car was pretty much untouched when I bought it ... Many years ago I took it apart and don't recall if it had a rear seat speaker wire.... Not sure what I did with if it did. 70 olds 442 hardtop thanks in advance

If I'm not mistaken I believe it is blue. It is blue for my 1971 CS. It runs from the center of the dashboard rearward under the carpet.

I guess I'm all set both wires end up being purple... I just got to figure out if they ran the speaker wire separately from the harness going to the back... That's probably why it's missing thanks all

The rear defrost wire is purple and runs into the trunk from the driver's side as part of the grouped wires in the plastic surround. The rear speaker is blue, runs in from the passenger side, and is generally just taped to the floor in the center.

Here is a shot of an original speaker and the ASM page - looks like they followed the directions!
