MM plow colors

Can someone tell me what color a MM 3 bottom trip plow might be? I looked at one tonight and it had yellow wheels and I thought I saw some blue on the frame. I did see a MM decal on the back of one of the moldboards and moline stamped in the frame.
 
They have prairie gold wheels (the rear wheel shaft that goes through the frame and the "cap" that holds it in are prairie gold as well) and the rest of the frame is red, not sure what the paint code is for the red though. I believe some of the oxidized / sun faded red paint shows up with a blue tint to it after several years. I think someone on here mentioned once that the coulter blades have a blueish tint to them, although I have seen some black as well.
 

Not all plows were red. I have an original 3 bottom plow that is prairie gold with cherry red wheels. Also some cultivators were not red as paint list shows.
 
Just for references I used IH red with the Prairie Gold for brown belly M 5's on wheels for our MM pipe plow. Plow was sandblased and a gray primer was used.
