The paint colors available are listed in the 1931 Canadian Parts book. They are:
Dawn Grey
Black
Niagara Blue
Evergreen
Copra Drab
Rose Beige
Mist Grey
Richelieu Blue
Henna Red
Thorne Brown
Cigarette Cream
Scarab Green
Classic Blue
Some of these are clearly Canadian only colors. In my opinion some of these colors were carried for repair work on older models. In researching Revision 4, the two JSCs were unable to make a definitive statement as to which color appeared on which model or even the color combinations in 1931. Also, we have not found color samples (chips) of the Canadian unique colors. The Canadian experts, Everett Hessels and Carl Becker are continuing there search for these elusive items.

The new revision to the Guidelines reflects this information.

Contrary to previous statements, Revision 4 is not delayed at the printer. Rather. the printing process is following requirements set down in the contract between MARC and MAFCA. The Committee Chairman from each JSC must approve a digital proof of the entire revision. I expect this will happen next week. Once approved the printing presses will roll!
