What are the colors on the 4-8-8-4's?

I have the Monogram Big Boy locomotive.

After looking through several books on the subject, I have noticed different paint schemes.

What are the official colors used and their equivalent in today’s paint colors?

My wife and I took these videos in October of 2024. The front portion looks to be painted flat aluminum. That’s what they did on my Rivarossi.
