Wine red and beige


Explanation:
This is how Märklin describes it. See the link. Also, it appears to be the cars that are painted. I thought the bogeys were the wheels and they do not appear to be painted in much of any color but black.

agree  Ken Cox: Much to my surprise, but I suppose that with so few basic colour names to work with and so many different defined colours you have to improvise (or start using names like 'enchanting green').
