They are all gold from factory.
Yours is actually missing the gold piece that sticks on to that black part.

Yeah, you can see the little nipple forms during the molding process in the middle of it, and the remnants of the glue all the way around the border of the black area.
I think you can get replacements pretty cheap online
Or just go with a aftermarket one of your choice obviously.

I actually like it black!! I thought maybe that was Chevy's way of distinguishing PPV's / SSV from the civilian Tahoe's. Now I understand

If you go for the illuminated bow tie it’s black and they also include black rear bow tie.

My Border Patrol Tahoe 4x4 SSV bow ties were gold. I removed the gold layer with a knife with plans to replace them. Under the front one I found a black bow tie that looks awsome for the front. I pulled the gold layer off of the rear and I found a chrome bow tie underneath. I like the back even more than the front! Get your courage up and rip off the gold layer.

I am pretty sure they all came gold, mine did too. I removed the chrome grill inserts and found an aftermarket black grill set, and painted my bowtie black like my heart also.

Ours was also gold, but weird that when viewed at a distance, and an angle it looked black until the vehicle turned toward you. I thought that was a pretty cool effect.
