Here's Minnesota Transfer SW-1500 #203 with that bluish look as well so the late sixties Brewster Green did the same thing...

Anyway Phil, I'll keep looking but I truly doubt I'll find another green. So far, we're up to five which is plenty. LOL Here is probably the ultimate alternative example of Brewster Green, however. The rest of the pictures can be found here... http://americancarriagebuilder.blogspot ... ugham.html You guys can just imagine what that would look like with a big, shiny black carriage horse pulling it around...

It's pretty easy to simulate the effect on the 2015 Brewster Green chip scan by either subtracting red and green equally (yellow), adding blue, or any combination thereof...

If I manipulate Seacrest Green in the same fashion, it turns into more of a turquoise color like Narva Green...

Today's rainy day special, Baltimore & Annapolis colors!!! These were ordered by Federal Auto Parts of Baltimore, MD in 1955, perhaps for the busses. The source is Ditzler Form 5756 dated 12/56, Page 3... Baltimore-Annapolis Railway Cream, Ditzler/PPG 21027 Baltimore-Annapolis Railway Dk. Green, Ditzler/PPG 41861 Baltimore-Annapolis Railway Lt. Cream (light green), Ditzler/PPG 41860 The code numbers appear to be customer-specific so they'd have to be deciphered by PPG...

This mid-fifties Ditzler catalog includes the two Federal Truck chips that are missing from the 1954 DuPont catalog, Federal Truck Cream and the lighter Federal Truck Green. The lighter Federal Truck Green is a very close match for the Northern Pacific's Loewy Light Green as provided by the NPRHA and the Cream looks like it could go on the Erie so stay tuned!!!... LOL

Uh oh, it looks like we may be on to something here. Hopefully, this will turn out a little better than the last time I made an attempt at these colors...

Federal Truck used the "cream" as an interior color. It is actually a greenish tan. Then, you may ask, what about that more bluish seafoam color you sometimes see in old photographs?...

The light Federal Truck Green chip fits right in between the printed representation of the Northern Pacific's Loewy Light Green, Pullman 70-116, and the NPRHA sample...

Back on Page 39 of this thread, I had casually mentioned this color in passing but the NP's Loewy Dark Green, Pullman 70-117, now seems to be coalescing around Dodge Truck Dark Green (City Green) and not Federal Truck Dark Green...

According to the Pullman Notebook, along with the NP and the Erie, the New Haven also used this color. Close to Mack Brewster Green, it's slightly lighter and greener...

Not the greatest picture, but here are the two New Haven greens side by side. They apparently used the Dulux Gold with both greens so sometimes you don't know what the heck you're looking at there... LOL

Here are a couple old Dodge listings that show the variations in Dodge Truck Dark Green as photographed... http://car-from-uk.com/sale.php?id=28813 http://smclassiccars.com/dodge/641485-1 ... -runs.html This is another that's been "professionally restored"... http://smclassiccars.com/dodge/539530-f ... truck.html I guess we have the color fairly well-covered now. This morning, I was just looking through some of the NP pictures I have stashed on my hard drive and ran across this one. That definitely appears to be Pullman Green on the end of that dome car because it sure isn't Brewster...
