The most common EMD color for the engineroom and locomotive interiror was a light grey.  Some railroads specified a light tan and a few a light green.  Everything inside the locomotive -- cab, engine room, engine, main generator, etc., got the same color.  With the advent of safety cab locomotives some railroads began specifying a different color for the cab interior.

Any photos I've seen show EMD 567's, 645's & 710's painted a medium to light gray.

Can anyone suggest a source for color photos of an EMD Prime Mover, or even suggest the proper paint scheme?
