Reading M-1sa Mikado Colors

It's been a while since I've posted, but I've found some more time to get back into railworks lately.

Upon some google searching, I became hooked on a certain Mikado type locomotive. It was the Reading M-1sa 2-8-2's. I considered doing this as a repaint, but I wasn't sure what colors they were painted up in for their time period. All of the images I've seen on google are all black and white.
Here's what they look like:

My only assumption is that they were painted in something resembling their T-1 class 4-8-4 Northern:

Any help identifying the colors would be appreciated! :D

It's not perfect, but there's a few clips in that preview video that should give you some idea of what to aim for.
