Colored Bow

In Greek and Roman mythology, what color was Apollo's bow?
I know Apollo was the sun god, but what color bow did Zeus give him? Was it silver or gold? Which ever one Apollo was given, his sister was given the other...
PS Don't try Wikipedia.
According to Keats it's a golden bow: As silver is usually associated with the moon, I would assume that Artemis got the other.
God of the golden bow,
And of the golden lyre,
And of the golden hair,
And of the golden fire,
Charioteer
Of the patient year,
Where—where slept thine ire,
When like a blank idiot I put on thy wreath,
Thy laurel, thy glory,
The light of thy story,
Or was I a worm—too low crawling for death?
O Delphic Apollo!
Here's a hymn to Apollo by Callimachus:
Golden is Apollo's mantle and golden its clasp,
As are his lyre and Lyctian bow and quiver;
Golden are his sandals, for Apollo is rich in gold.
Rich in possessions; you might have proof of this at Delphi.
Always fair, always young! Never do
Traces of down touch his blooming cheeks.
His hair drips fragrant oils to the ground,
But streaming from the locks of Apollo is not fat.
But Panacaea. In the city where these dew drops
Fall to earth all things are secure.
However, I think Homer does call his bow silver, or at least his arrows are silver as he shoots at the invading armies of Agamemmnon at Troy.
So I think your answer would depend on your source.
