I'd say look at pics of the loco and make your best guess. I'm sure there's an exact paint out there, but you may have to settlte for close enough.
I have a special run Life-Like HomeHardware loco, so I haven't had to paint one.
Still, I'd say go with whatever light yellow you think looks closest. That's all that really matters anyway.
The CBC one will be a real challenge, what with the red/white reflection like blending near the rear. (you know what I mean)
Maybe try a search on the web.

Hi there. I was wondering if anyone knows if there is a yellow that I can use that is commercailly available for a Via Rail F40ph "Home Hardware" loco? Also, same thing for the "CBC" loco. I do have the decal sets, just can't figure out the colors for the life of me!! Thank you for any assistance.
Regards, Terry.
