KCS ES44AC Snowplow Color Belle Scheme

I believe there black. To help you out, I did get 2 pictures of KCS that may help. The top picture I took back in Oct 2014 in Ashtabula Harbor Ohio and the bottom picture from Nov 2014 in Perry Ohio. Only thing is, when there's dirt on them, it's harder to see the original shiny paint. But weathering on an engine looks better and make the engine look like it been run loner and worked harder. A muscle locomotive. 

@wrawroacx Thank you. I looked at Rail Net Photos of some pretty clean ones and they did look more black than green. Its' very hard to tell. Could not find any color charts for this scheme anywhere. I didn't know KCS Belle scheme had dark green in it until a bought an MTH ES44AC. I'm not sure but I think Lionel painted their ES44s black instead of the dark green. Could be a big flub on their part.

To my eyes................the snow plow is black.

Thanks Swafford, to my eyes all of the dark color looks black but in reality its' Brunswick green. In clean photos I believe the black plow is discernible. This one is tough to figure out. Tried some KCS sites, no real paint info, etc.  

Here's an image from online that shows the snowplow in new paint and better light.  It  appears to be the same color as the dark color on the frame and the body - I'll leave it up to the paint and color experts as to whether it's green or black <g>.

IMO, the stripe looks green and below the side sill looks black.
