Dan,
I remember that CB&Q stainless steel post-war Pullmans had the
bedroom doors painted pink (probably light rose in railroad
terminology(as viewed from the hallway.) I took a ride on "Silver
Valley" on Amtrak before it was refurbished in red white and blue. I
observed this on other CB&Q post war Pullmans. Perhaps some other
members on the list have more detailed information.
When I had the opportunity to purchase a former CBQ Pullman used on
the North Coast Limited (a Pullman Standard built car) I noticed the
bedroom doors were painted light blue.
Not much help for doing a whole car, but a tid bit of info.
