The announcement of the D&S purchase of a pair of new diesel locomotives mentioned that those locomotives would be "green" ...
Quote
D&SRR diesel purchase announcement on PRLog.org
Their color will be forest green, as seen in the wilderness of the San Juan National Forest. One locomotive will be numbered 550, referencing the highway linking Durango and Silverton, and the other locomotive will bear the number 416, in recognition of the extraordinary effort firefighters devoted to protecting life and property during the recent 416 Fire.

I don't recall seeing anything (and can't find any reference) that suggested that D&S had announced any particular color scheme for the oil-converted rebuilt #493 steam locomotive.
