Larry,
The green was called Cascade green which is = (give or take a few FS #'s) to
John Deere Green.
The ends where Safety Yellow, roofs where Silver ( later changed to Cascade
Green), Logo and lettering was White.
Hope this helps.

Larry, The waycar book lists this car as Aurora built in 1906 and
numbered as BN 11087 at the merger. It was donated to a cause in Jan
of 1971 and auctioned off by television station WTTW in Chicago in
1977 to a private individual in Prospects Heights, Il. It may have
never worn the green which I always heard was called Cascade green.
Hope this helps, Archie Hayden
