I have an Ertyl (the toy manufacturer) collector card here, the 'golden harvest edition' which shows the Ertyl model on the front of the card. The tractor toy is an 8N Ford and the color is the regular Ford red on the engine and tranny, etc., however the sheet metal shows to be sort of a tan or buff color, definitely not gray. Now, did Ford ever paint a run or series of these tractors with that color sheet metal? Or is it just an error in the printing process when they make the card?

Actually, the original ford "8N grey" is in fact a tan or buff. The color has a slight greenish tint to it, which in certain light gives it a grey tone. There are alot of 8N reds and greys out there, but the original color looks very tan.
Alot of guys use the ford grey out there which is almost "white" it's the wrong color. That particular Ford grey is the new ford grey that New Holland paints it's new tractor rims with.

If you look at a post below called "test" you'll see a pic of an Ertl N in the same colors. My opinion is that Ford never painted Ns that color but Ertl did. I have heard that a few industrial tractors in the early sixties were painted buff and red. Maybe Ertl thought that would make a more attrative toy than gray. I don't think it's a bad looking combination. Drives the originality guys nuts, though.
