Building Colors

A friend of mine has a Section House on their property which is adjacent to the Hackettstown-Washington line (ex -DL&W). They are planning to repaint it and would like it to have authentic RR colors. I found an article in RMC that states the colors for these buildings was "Standard Lackawanna Green and Bright Red". Can anyone translate this description into colors commercially available?

Thanks.

Pagoda wood station - best example is Vestal in Broome County although the roof is not original. Painted Post in Steuben county has been restored but I do not think it has "standard DL&W" colors. Very few pagoda stations remain as they date back to the 19th century, and the ones that remain have been repainted or are left fading to the elements.

Brick Station - Nichols in Tioga County or Apalachin in Broome County are good examples, I don't think their exterior has changed in the forty years I've been familiar with them. I remember several stations long gone, such as Willawanna (what a curious name for a town), that carried the same colors. Dover NJ is another fine specimen but I can't locate a color pic online, I'm sure Henry6 knows where the NJ examples are.

Many abandoned stations with new owners have been repainted with non-DL&W colors, but these examples are authentic to the best of my knowledge.

Calorosome - Thanks for the suggests. They triggered some other ideas, including looking at my own collection of pictures. I think I can now help my friends.

Of course, if I could type, I would put all of the letters in the word "suggestions".
