I think Hot Water's points are all valid. But it does seem clear to me (just my opinion) that Lionel's colors are closer to the Daylight colors seen today on the 4449 and its cars. Of course, I don't know if the color is different, or by how much, from the way it may have been "in the old days." In any case, it comes down to preference, I suppose. I just prefer the vibrant colors seen on the Daylight train that we see in operation today.
