Spence you are very welcome and you did not hi-jack any of my posts.

I knew of 'Pullman Green', but I did not know of the 'Pullman Brown' color until I searched Wikipedia for the establishment date of 'United Parcel Service.'

I used to refer to that U.P.S. special color as 'Golden Brown.'

Back in the late '40's one of my uncles who had hands of gold, like Brother Love, Malcolm, worked in the body shop for U.P.S. in Queens, N.Y.C., L.I., N.Y.S. and he and a fellow worker were the only two who knew how to mix the U.P.S'. special 'Pullman Brown' paint.

If, he were still alive, I would have asked him, as he would have known, since that special color has been in use before the '40's.

Here's the link regarding 'Pullman Brown'
