Re: Monon
Well, that's what I was getting at - for instance, the LO of 1966 (albeit out of this group's time) is noted as grey, PPG UL-11938. I don't have the '57 PS-1 documents at hand - will have to check

Having that information might put the color used in

"Does that include early post war lettering?"
Here's Mont's list of decals. Set number 300 should have what you need.

Like SP "lettering gray" applied to all locomotives and passenger cars
