Jonathan-

Not a definitive answer, but the Baldwin specs for the D1 2-8-0s specified BLACK for the engine and tender.  Olive was a common locomotive color at the time (the Wabash Wootten firebox equipped 2-8-0s and RDG engines were thus specified).

3) Off the wall question: The boiler jacket of 2222 looks lighter than the rest of the engine. The shiny black smokebox I'll write off to new graphite, but the not the the cab or tender. It may just be an artifact of black & white photography, but it makes me wonder, did the Burlington or subsidiaries ever paint their boiler jackets green or another color, as e.g. the D&RGW did?
