I think that decision I29 from July 17, 1956 sheds a little more light on that one. It says to paint wheel weights the same color as the wheel it goes on. It also says that weights have been shipped "with only a prime or oil coating."
I have in the past commented (at least half seriously) that a lot of the spare parts seemed to have been shipped in whatever color happened to be in the gun at the time the parts got to the paint line. We know that many tractor spares came without paint, housings often had the glyptal coating, others had nothing. Since weights were typically NOT attached to the tractor, I imagine they got about the same paint treatment as the spare parts, that is not painted at all or painted with whatever was in the gun. Fortunately, in the tractor plants it would have almost always been red. I wouldn't be surprised if an occasional car load of red tractors got shipped with a stack of yellow or orange weights.
