DP Passenger Cars

[NW Modeling List]

Yes, you could start there, but the lack of a color chip is not the problem. As I have said before, the basic problem has to do with the subjective perception of what shade looks too light or too dark on a model. In my experience, most of the factory painted models have been too dark. (Bachmann and now DP are the exceptions. To me, they are a bit too light, although I would prefer that rather than “too dark.” Again, it is a subjective decision, and no modeling committee would be able to satisfy everyone.)

What about the "color card" someone mentioned at the pullman archives.  Wouldn't this be a good place to start?

Jim is right as is Bill McClure.  The best that a paint committee can do is provide a model standard color to manufacturers so, hopefully, the models all have a similar color.  It may or may not be prototypical- and it shouldn’t be due to lighting differences from sunlight to indoor lighting.   Is this what the modeling community is seeking?  What do you think?
