Re: Color Quiz

Mr. Sperry-

The green color on the D&S special makes me want to throw up, and has since I first saw it when Jerry Day posted photos of that special years ago. Cool special, seriously cool special. Haggard green color. They totally missed the mark with that crappy green and I wonder where and how they came up with it honestly. Yikes, big time. I believe that the CRRM has the same issues finding the true Pullman Green color (unless something has changed recently?). Andy Dahm seemed to have nailed the "real" color when he painted the RPO 60 oh so long ago. How can he be the only one?

The San Juan photo that Mr Scholl posted is what I see as "true" Pullman Green. Yes, I know about Kodachrome and all of its hue/tone idiosyncrasies, but it is consistent with many other photographs, both narrow and standard gauge alike. That, to me at least is true Pullman Green.

I suppose it is my opinion anyway.
