Actually Mike isn't the only one that would be
interested in knowing the
Pantone colours for DEC HW. Though I'd also like to know the correct
colour
for "China Red" as used in later model PDP-10's.
I have it on good authority that the 'Chinese Red' (aka orange!) was
identical to the commonly-available car colour known as 'Toyota truck
orange' - in fact a post mentioned that cans of the Toyota paint were used
for touch-ups in final assembly at DEC, IIRC.
That's why it wasn't on my list of colours! Though it would still be nice to
have a Pantone number, I agree...
Google alt.sys.pdp10 for 'truck orange'.
