- After saving an amendment, to refresh the colour sample above.
- According to E.F. Carter, the GNR locomotive colour was "green of one shade or another"; [1] "bright, almost grass green"; [1] "green"; [2] "light grass-green"; [3] "slightly yellower green than [a colour previously described as green]" [4] or "bright green". [5] I have thus settled on a colour #00A550 identified as Grass green.
