The Tempo diesels were orange, similar to that on the ends of the diesels in the first and third photos in Mike's first link, although I've seen others call it red.

I'm uncertain about the colour of the sill stripe, cab sides, and the noodle.  CN used a light grey, which looked white, for the sergeant-stripe locos on the paint scheme which superseded the regular noodle scheme.

However, a quick search yielded the answer...that the noodle and associated striping was indeed grey.

A modeler on Deisel Detailer did some nice builds, but because of the photobucket mess, they not viewable Super Angry, but he has a couple of links in his post that show some good pictures.

You'll have to click on the pictures to enlarge them, and you can decide for yourself.

Body was red, can't tell from photos whether cab, sill stripe and logo were white or light grey. Any help?
