      There's a whole host of other GWR colours...

      Let's ignore black, as everybody else used it too.

      But that still leaves stone no 1 (cream, used as undercoat), freight grey, early freight red, various shades of engine green (such as the different shade used by Wolverhampton), three shades of red (Indian/Venetian/Chinese), etc...
