engine block color as shipped new.
Most engines are painted a medium gray or light green.
I used those cheap paints from wal-mart and brush painted my diesel motor. I used mostly a light sea green color with a bit of dark forest green mixed into it. The color came out a close enough match for government work. If you want an exact match get in touch with a real diesel motor distributor like a Cummins distributor or Stewart & Stevenson’s. They sell cans of spray paint that they use on the real diesels…chuck
The few I can recall seeing was painted medium gray.

I have always seen a medium grey , that includes newer GE engines as well. I believe its to see leaks better rather than an artistic statement.
I doubt that it’s the original paint, but the colour should be pretty close.
