Switch gear lettering colour

(1/2) > >>

TezzerTel:
As the title what colour should the lettering be on the switch gear? I've refurbished my old switches and coming to painting the lettering. Just wondering what colour this should be? Some seem to be a orange and some more of a red? Are the orange ones I'm seeing just faded red or were they originally orange?

McCabe-Thiele (Ted):
I believe they were Red that's faded to Orange.

Spitfire:
Could explain why I was told that they should be orange Ted, I did mine red.


Cheers

Johnny4428:
In my mind I thought they were like a burnt orange, I mixed a red with a little orange just to tone the red a little.

McCabe-Thiele (Ted):
I believe many reds have yellow mixed in to vary the shade of red, the rest is probably due to uV breaking down the pigment.
My Superdream has black switches with Green markings, they look original.
