In 1904 the Q standard was changed to Indian Red with bronze green trim on
buildings.
Remember a painter also had to grind the iron oxide pigments and then mix with
the linseed or milk to make the paint so often color varied even before it was
put on the object to be painted.
It seems the colors changed with the change to cement board siding(white) and
when the stucco was applied to depots

--- Sounds to me like the Q had a market on Red oxide paint, from rolling
stocks to signals to structures. Apparently this was the Q standard. Tim
