U.S. Military Railroad Colors

Palmer asked a similar question on Jan 25 (search civil war in search box) and Ken had a go at answering his question. Maybe someone else would like to contribute an answer to Palmers latest question:

“I am an H.O. modeler I want to make a Civil War scene as a part of my layout. I want to include a period loco and several U.S. Military Railroad cars. I have not been able to find out what color were used by the U.S. MRR. during the Civil War on rolling stock.”
