I can't tell you but it should be in the judging standards. It's worth a half a point in that respect. This link has a lot of information about wipers. The wiper blade information is scattered and sparse but there is information in there just not much on colors. It does have color photos of some blades and they are ID'd by there given codes. The early ones are single or double layer and most would be black or red as far as I know. Multi layers ones are likely multi colored since each layer provided a different function of support.

Windshield wiper were kind of a new thing in the model A era so the stuff evolved a lot in 4-years.
