FVM GP60M/B BNSF Paint Question

So the question is,  are these deep red-orange like the ES44C4's or closer to something else?

The photos I've seen look pretty red-orangish, but I've seen a lot of incorrect color rendition on product websites.

I want to pick one of the "B"'s up, but would probably go with Santa Fe Silver if these don't look close to Kato stuff...

thanks,

Lou,

The basement is two floors down and it's too late to trudge down there again but my GP60Ms' red looked OK to me when I was down there earlier. I've never had a color blindness or color perception issue and the FVM units do not look too orange when next to my Atlas SF and BNSF 8-40BWs.

I got a B unit in the HI scheme and to me the orange looks just right (very close to Kato's orange).  This from someone who was very critical of the orange on the GEVO's.  As I've said elsewhere, kudos to FVM for this!

Thanks, Bill and Gary,  I like the H1 GP60B better, so this is good news....
