My favorite is Stroudley’s “Improved Engine Green.” The improvement was that it wasn’t green!
It was ochre!

LOL! Yep Keith, that's the Poster Child for color disagreement! And yes gentlemen, that was a locomotive "Green." When the Boss-man (Stroudley) says it's Green, it's GREEN.

But to get back towards topic, here's a URL for Phoenix Paints GWR colors, including two "locomotive" greens. We all know how much variation from actual there can be when a color transitions through digital imaging, then viewed on a random monitor, and then translated by your eye, but even so this page, https://www.phoenix-paints.co.uk/produc ... gwrbigfour will give you a good benchmark for the GWR locomotive greens as compared to PRR green.

Here is another green that is not green — Erie Lackawanna Gray-Green.
