This site has some color photos of CM wine cars. There appears to
have been a variety of schemes.

I like the photo of the gentleman siphoning wine from a tank car with
a hose. Looks like he'll be serving it momentarily to his companions.

We at O Scale West are working with Lionel to provide their

great

wine car in 2-rail scale for the combined O Scale West - National

O

Scale convention next June.

Have you looked at some of the published color photos? There

is

one in the book on billboard reefers we recently published. I'd

call

the color a variety of magenta.
