The fleet of rolling stock & some of the locos went to the browny red a couple of years back.
The steelworks & waterworks had their own livery which was light blue.
Or does rust count as a livery?.....
Some have brown/black/grey/orange light aerosol overspray to give a mucky industrial look.
As to actual colour matching, names of shades, helpful type info - I haven't come across any specific tins in the workshop as yet but if I find anything obvious I'll let you know - Dad did a lot by eye as well.
I'm starting to get the feel of Compton Grey now - for repainting the buildings & layout in. That's black/white/cream and whatever colours you have lying to hand including iron flour or rust, mud, sand, sawdust...etc...

this pic a bit grainy but has the most options to give general feel...
The coaches (as top row) more maroon - wagons & industrial locos from browny red towards orange. One of the blue steelworks wagons just creeping into shot bottom left.[/img]
