Vince, I wouldn't rely too much on the paint's name, as paint colours will vary between manufacturers - D&H Blue from one company may not look anything like the same offering from another firm, and there's a chance that neither one will look right to your eye.  Also, layout room lighting can change the perception of colour, so a colour mixed to exactly match that of the prototype may look all wrong under layout room conditions.

You may be able to find more info HERE or HERE.

D & H structure collors?
Posted by vincerg on Saturday, May 1, 2010 9:38 AM

 Hello too everyone:

    Back in the day the D & H painted anything made of wood two (2) colors of green.  One was lighter than the other & was close to the military olive drab.  I would like to paint the structures these two (2) colors but haven't a clue as to what they were & I would like it to be as authentic as possible.  Anyone out there know what these two (2) greens were called?  Thanks for any help anyone can provide.

Respectfully, Vince
