The paint numbers would have been stamped into the fire wall plate...

The "standard" colors for 1935 Commercial and Utility truck production were:

159 = Boatswain Blue with Patrol Red stripe and Black wheels.
160 = Brewster Green with Citronelle Yellow stripe and Black wheels.
161 = Swift's Comercial Red with Silver stripe and Black wheels.

"Special Combination" color were:

206 = Omaha Orange w/ Chess Blue stripe
211 = Apple Green w/ White stripe
200 = Cypress Green w/ Citronelle Yellow stripe
220 = Black w/ Silver stripe
263 = White w/ Emerald Green stripe
202 = Cream Medium w/ Black stripe
258 = Armour Yellow w/venetian Blue stripe
250 = Bordeaux Maroon w/ Klondike Extra Copper stripe

The Hood, Body and Molding were all the same color in 1935 and the Fenders would have been Black on all trucks.

If there's a color in particular you want crossed over to a new code, let me know and I'll do my best...no promisses. The stripe colors are the same as modern "sign paint"...those colors haven't changed in 100 years.
