Arthur Dubin in Kalmbach's Pullman Painting Guide said that Pullman combined the yellow of rural dirt with the black of the industrial areas to make the color, which would suggest a combination of raw siena and raw or burnt umber. While the patina of copper certainly is stable, I don't recall any jade green paint shade being common until the late '50's, when again something must have made it possible. - John Nehrich
