As for color, it depends on what kind of line you want to model. For newer powerlines, I'd look at an aluminum conductor. New aluminum lines are shiny, but after a few years turn dark - almost black. I'd look for a very dark grey to model the color. For older lines I'd model a copper line. After a few years the copper gets a nice dark green patina. Mark in Utah (Electric utility guy)
