Blasphemy or not?

When you say Deere I think green, IH=red, Farmall=red, AC=orange so...
I have an AC i400 its yellow...I have seen them online in mostly yellow and I have seen a few in orange...I know it's "my tractor" and "I can do what I want" but would it be wrong to repaint this "Case yellow" tractor Allis Chalmers Orange... Did they really come in orange (it also has an AC I400 loader on it) or have the examples I have seem just been repainted and are not really "historically accurate"
any input would be great

A great percentage of "construction" equipment got painted yellow. Nothing unique or special about that. Some was also painted orange. Just depended on how it was ordered from the Factory as they could be had either way.

AC Persian Orange

The color of yellow i painted my I 400 was New Holland yellow. I think AC painted tractors the color of yellow that the
buyer specified.

Try prarie gold, and blow everyones mind. However I normally am a Persian orange, type of guy.

Even farm tractors that were purchased by towns or counties were painted yellow if that's what the customer wanted. Bs with a sickle bar mower were common to mow along
the side of roads.
