NIR photos - circa 1985 I think

Some scans of photos that I took in the sidings near Sydenham, Belfast in 1985, I think.  I had a summer job at a Consulting Engineer's office in Elmwood Avenue and was staying at home in Ben Madigan at the time. 

 

One Saturday I walked over to Sydenham from City Hall and managed to get these photos.

The last photo is of a cut and shunt job I did at university around the same time using Lima Mk2 coaches and some plasticard - I still have this somewhere...

A quick digression and a question. 

 

I had wondered if the red on the vehicles was the same between the first livery and the second - the first of the stripe livery , these lovely photos clearly show the later liver a much brighter red - more orange perhaps - any official colour name ? is the question .

I have heard the ivory colour called that but also buttermilk. Dear experts any idea of right name and rattle can or precision match.

Thanks in advance
