Paint scheme of CNJ tug boats

I have been searching the web to determine the CNJ harbor tug paint scheme. It seems they were the same green as their engines with yellow trim. However, I saw some b&w photos that seemed to suggest that some had a different scheme. On the “green” tugs, was the hull actdually black? I am planning to paint the Walthers tug.

[^o)] I’m just wondering if the colours were tangerine and blue like the early diesel locomotive scheme.
