As a point of historical precedent, often referred to as "prototypical" by zealous rail modelers, in 1978, our neighbors were painting their house and the very friendly and excitable Ty, the black lab, got a fresh coat of paint after the kids saw smears of the olive green paint on him already from rubbing up against the work. They did a fine job and Ty ran around the neighborhood for a month or more showing off his new color before it wore off.
So, you have it on good authority from an eyewitness that there were special circumstances when the typical black fixtures were painted dark olive green. Make a note of it.
