I like the weathering on those!

Yes. They are great!

Would be nice to see some repaints of 7600 and low 7700 series that had the old BNSF H2 carbody logo. Many of the low 7700s were assigned to the LA-San Diego corridor for quite a few years.

They experimented with the swoosh on 7695, but the permanent cutover to the swoosh was around 7743.

Thanks for the comments.
First goal is Seligman ES44DC and C44-9W repaint.

Basic orange color tone is not same between original route C44 and ES44. Not easy to solve.

Maybe they wanted a faded look ? Keep in mind they add a lot of things like weathering and stuff like that so the end result does not match what your looking for. It will be the same end paint but with added features.

I've certainly seen pictures of two BNSF units together with clearly different orange shades.
Pay attention to Genesee & Wyoming units. If not painted at the same time the orange has really significant variations one unit to the next.

I agree
