Pullman Green is an "Olive" color. Depending on the lighting it will seem to be a dark green or a lighter olive green with a touch of brown.
Pullman selected this color in the 1890s to replace its older brown color. That brown is seen just about every day today -- it is used by United Parcel Service as its truck color -- "Pullman Brown."
