Generally, they were painted Highway Yellow (similar to Caterpillar Yellow) from the factory. However, it is not unusual to see companies paint them in their colors. A case in point, a local plumbing company in my area, Frank J. Strahl, paints all of their equipment red to match their trucks. I'm following that example on the one I'm building. I painted mine OSHA Safety Green, partly to be different, and partly because I had that color on hand.
