I knew some GG1s and all E-units were Tuscan
Not quite ALL...

For steam locomotive painting, I have a small booklet concerning the painting of PRR locomotives and tenders published by the Pennsylvania Research and Information Association (a precursor to the PRRT&HS)
In it is stated that Dark green and black were both used for locomotive frames and wheels. Trailing truck frames were green.
Further, the pilot, pilot beam (wood), cylinder head and steam chest, cylinder jackets, boiler jacket including inside cab, headlight, bell frame, sand box, steam dome, air reservoirs, running board facing, cab exterior, valve motion, (painted parts), tender cistern exterior, sides, back and front end, also molding strip between cistern and frame and wood tender frame were all DGLE.
Black paint was applied to: Steel pilot beam and braces, round number plate background, engine truck, (except wheels), frame and braces, hand rails, running boards and brackets, steps, pipes and fixtures, brake rigging, deck plate, tender frame (steel), tender steps, tender trucks and wheels, tender coal space.
Cab roof above rain gutters was mixture of equal parts freight car color and black.
Smoke stack, smokebox, exposed firebox and ash pan were painted front-end color.
Interior cab, medium green.
Tender top of cistern, freight car color.
There is more discussion on the appearance of these colors.
Perhaps I can send you a copy of this in an email if you'd like.

but didn't know about the SW1
Ouch! I guess I didn't get the SW-1 right... it was a Baldwin VO-1000 that was painted Tuscan Red
No. 5916 to be exact. I had to dig out a few PRR books to refresh my memory.
Good Luck, Ed
