I'm with Claus.  I think this is a very fraught assumption.  And, the example with the PRR research (which only goes back to the 1930s IIRC) serves to illustrate this.

I model 1934, and these days I mostly choose FCCs that tickle my fancy.  I'm still waiting for bullet-proof evidence as to the exact late-920s color(s) for any road of interest to me.
