Does anyone know the colour values that BR used on things like Metal BR logos and Plaques on the side of locomotives please?
Also, if anyone knows the colour values for the RES 'Rail Express Systems' livery that would be great too.

I've already had a look on http://www.doublearrow.co.uk for colour values, but I can't find anything about the RES livery, nor can I find any colour values for nameplate and plaques.

Thank you very much for your help. :D

The red used in RES livery is Post Office Red (according to BR Designed 1948-97), but it is unspecific on the other colours used

I wouldn't expect there to be official colour values for the plaques - they're just cast aluminium, either polished or painted black as appropriate for the design.

You might be intrigued by this recent Tweet by "Double Arrow": doublearrow.co.uk on Twitter: "Some exciting things incoming... #Res #RailExpressSystems #DesignManual https://t.co/tEGBeDdhj7" / Twitter

Shame they haven't got the NSE design manual, but the Rail Express Systems one will be a good addition.
