I copied the following from an article about the Southern Crescent:

Southern Railway announced in 1929 that its first "train of luxury" was to begin life anew with brand-new equipment. Along with new Pullmans, cars built especially for the "Crescent Limited" four years earlier were completely refinished. What was "all new" was the distinctive exterior finish. Two shades of green adorned the luxury cars, each one lettered "Crescent Limited" in gold leaf along the upper panels. Pullman cars were named for distinguished sons of the seven states of the South through which the train ran.

My question is: What were/are these Two shades of green?

You might want to post this question on the Southern RR Fans- Photos thread.

Dewey Trogdon is quite knowledgeable about the SR and I know he often posts and answers questions on that thread.  I am not sure if he will see this posting here.

 

I know the the Southern had Apple Green and a Dark Green, but I can't say for sure if those are the 2 colors.  However, great question and something I would be interested in know about too.
