The best paint sample of "D&RGW green" is the former backside display windows which were once in the main CRRM museum building, later in the library and some were auctioned. These windows were actually storm windows from a vestibuled car from the San Juan. D&RGW green has more of a tint of brown in the green like Pullman Green, darker, not like Leaf Green. Knott's Berry Farm, Durango & Silverton Narrow Gauge is wrong also. But at least the wood is being preserved.
