I'm with you, Curt with the green but ,as you said< if they were kept clean and not faded, the maroon would probably be quite impressive. With gold lettering of course!
I suspect the UV at those high altitudes is responsible for early fading. When I was with GM, we used to put painted panels up on the roof of the Denver Training Center to test for durability and found high elevations too be quite harsh on paint.
