Can anyone tell me what paint to use for HO scale Erie RR structures - cream and green? Thanks

Don't forget the red window frames!
There is a house in Mountain View NJ on Fayette Ave, whose backyard abudts the Mountain View railroad station that is painted in Erie structure colors, right down to the green trim and red window frames. Don't know if the owner is a railfan or if it is just coincidence
If memory serves me right, basic color was a grey/green similar to the window stripe on passenger cars; the large outer window frames were a darker pine green but the inner window frames holding the glass were orange. Station signs were black gothic lettering on white and often the white ERIE emblem with a blue diamond was above the station sign.
Can others correct me if I'm wrong - any photos available?

here is the Erie's Avon NY station..
not sure how accurate it is, but it was recently repainted in these colors.
the station is now a resturant.
