[Farmall] implement colors

[Michael Schmudlach]

I have to disagree with Captndan.  IH was cheap but they spent a lot of time
on what we now call "branding".  Colors for implements and equipment was
thought out.
If IH mixed left over paints together then there would be a lot of "brown"
implements out there.
If you can find a real source that IH mixed a bunch of paints together I
would like to see it.
I never heard of a dealership changing paint colors .... remember for many
years many of the dealerships were company owned stores.
Yes, customers could specify a certain paint color for an upcharge i.e.
Chisolm Rider and others.

There is no stock answers to this question.  Usually Farmall would use blue.
However nothing much went to waste back then.  So, what ever paint was left
over from a certain run it was mixed with other left over paint.  Also a
dealer had the option of changing paint color to go with the dealership
color scheme.  I usually say use Royal Blue and the correct police cannot
can't argue.
