It's the original color.  You won't find Universal Bronze at NAPA.

I *strongly* recommend *against* using an Easy Out.  In my opinion,
they are the spawn of the devil.  They are extremely brittle and
prone to break.  They are also harder than a drill bit.  The net
result is that they can take a problem and turn it into a
catastrophe.

Drilling with care, starting with small bits and getting larger,
can enable you to get the stud out without damaging the threads.
Don't get in a hurry.  Take your time and look at what's happening.
You *will* be off-center, at least a little bit.  When you reach
the threads on one side, you may be able to pick out the rest with
a punch.  If it's still too thick, you may need to work on the
other side with a round or triangular file, first.
