SFAIK when #20, aka 'Portland', was delivered to the F&CC she was painted a lovely shade of Dark(?) Olive Green, with Alumin(i)um trim, so the question is not whether green is appropriate, but whether #20 is to be painted to represent her woebegone, unkempt and dreary old age on the RGS or her colorful and flambouyant youth on the F&CC ...
