I have painted both the Metro-North freight units as well as a few F10's and the closest blue I've found and am now using on the Metro-North units is "CSX Blue". As for the CDOT red/orange...at least on the McGhinnis units I use Model Flex "Socony Red". If you want to paint the red band on an M2 model though, you can almost use any red from a caboose red to almost a pink, as some of the M2's have faded so bad they are literally pink .
