Water tank color

Posted by mike33469 on Saturday, December 10, 2005 5:54 PM

I just purchased a Cambells water tower kit , I'm modeling the NYC, is there any official color the NYC painted their water tanks? I'm modeling the 1940's.

This is a circa 1900 photo but the wooden water tower looks pretty dark to me..
