Erie RR RS3 Color Question

[CoolRuehle]

Looking at some of the color photos of Erie RS3 locomotives, I see they have them painted in what looks like Navy blue or dark blue with the gold/yellow striping and logos.

Anyone know the true name of this blue, or it is just black?

Better yet, anyone got an exact match for it in a particular color of model paint, like a Model Master or Humbrol?

Did the cab-end of the locos have any yellow/gold paint or was it just the sides and front <--(opposite cab end) ?

Here are a few examples:

I beleive theyre black and yellow, if you are seeing dark blue or navy ones, could it be a possible faded black?

They ARE black & yellow. Erie Lackawanna had got a bunch of blue boxcars to run a contract for General Mills. That was in the 70's.
