This link list hundreds of codes/numbers, the lists are at the bottom of the page below a short history about "DUCO-DULUX & GOLD PAINT" scroll down and check out the listing.

Hope this link is of help.

Bummer. I was really hoping to see some UP, SP and ATSF codes. :-(

The list was compiled by a custom painter of models, the late Sam McCall, who went by the handle of "hosam"; HO Sam. Hosam's main area of interest was SE roads, although he added more material to the list if someone supplied it. It appears, from the number of Duco numbers, that almost all of the info was gleaned from EMD styling drawings.

Too bad that when you ask DuPont about these colors now days, they just shrug.

Hi

The list I am working on now has over 700 lines of paint codes. I can provide the list in Excel format or the list can be down load from the RAILFONTS reference page in a PDF file.
