to the discussion when this was announced, this Penn Central came in today. The color is hard to photograph, but it is off green when you see it in person,
far from a baby blue. Another great new offering from Menards.

Thanks Bob. A very useful piece of info. Sure looks baby blue, though. I just ordered six more cars this morning, but not the PC. Probably next time, gotta find more space/bucks.
O NO! PC worms are popen! Where's me shovel? there's whopping to be done! 
Mine are still in Eau Claire, Wisc.. Has Menards just run a pipeline to your house ?
hello guys and gals.........
I LIKED the baby blue color, I noticed that is the roof line warped as it shows on the photo ?

Tiffany, I think the car is fine, but Bob may be a little warped!! LOL Couldn't resist, I tried!
That makes a great PRR modernized X-29 for sure. Mine will get weathered ASAP!!!
The color depends on the camera settings used. There are different color settings for advanced digital cameras.

Now all Menards needs to do is relocate the "Built by Menards 2017" somewhere less conspicuous.

I would hope that explains the appearance of the photos posted above. I grew up surrounded by real (1:1) PC green freight cars and they sure didn't look like this!
Just have the "blt by Menards" in the same "font", as the rest of the car, and place it where PC put its trust plate info.
Here's the true color
