It has always been my understanding the Gold color was first applied to the equipment for a movie. Ultimately the Silverton Train retained the gold color because the DRGW thought the gold looked better than green in photos, I have to agree.
According to JIm Edger on the Rio Grande list, the color was Dupont Duco Orange which is as Mike Trent points out is very close to a Butter Finger candy bar wrapper.
