Prince's Mineral Brown is dark chocolate in color. It was used from sometime in the 1800's until approximately 1910 when it was replaced with "freight car mineral" paint.
The 3000 and some 4000 boxcars were rebuilt between 1922 and 1928 and were painted with "freight car mineral" paint, hence the paint chip references was close to "freight car mineral" in color. Compare builder's photo of D.&R.G. 1899 painted with Prince's Mineral Brown with that of D.&R.G. 1271 which was repainted sometime around 1910.
