Russ:

The building was and still is red. That was the standard D&RGW color for buildings, water tanks, etc. in the 20s, 30s and earlier.

You know after this being debated for more than 40 years it is getting to be a bit boring. No one has been able to come up with definitive proof of green on narrow gauge engines that would hold up in a court of law, yet folks keep seeing green in B&W photos becasue they want it to be green.

I doubt if it will ever end as the D&RGW did not keep detailed records of paintings and I am pretty sure no good color photo will show up. If I am wrong, I will be the first to eat crow, but I am pretty sure I will not have to look for the katsup.
