Prototypical Pennsylvania Railroad color of freight cars?

Sorry if this topic has already been covered and discussed in depth.  I have had several customers question me about the prototypical accuracy regarding some of Lionel's scale detailed Pennsylvania freight cars that have a distinct "orange" appearance rather than the traditional tuscan red or brown color that we are all used too and used on many prior Lionel, MTH and Atlas O PRR models.  Specifically asking about the freight cars that are included in the 6-84953 Lionel Coal Hauler Set and the tender decks of the Lionel  6-84944 Atlantic steam locomotive and the H10 steam locomotives.  There may be other models with this "orange" color too.  I am asking those that are highly knowledgeable of Pennsylvania Railroad technical facts.  Personally I am much more knowledgeable of New York Central and the NYO&W railroad colors.  Is this "orange" in fact prototypical?  I'd just like to know.  Thank you in advance.
