I just fielded a question from a gentleman asking about the two-tone heavy weight passenger cars and if they were appropriate to run behind the Grey Goose Challenger. He noted how good they looked together. I was happy to report it is more than appropriate, it is expected!!
I found this interesting article on UP's Portland Rose.

In the 1930s the UP painted many of their passenger cars in the two-gray scheme. The Protland Rose cars were repainted in 1946. This would lost until 1952 when the cars were repined in the yellow. This was done to match the locomotive there were painted in Yellow.
The gentleman also asked if observation cars and RPOs will be coming in two-tone. Yes, this will happen in 2015.
