The Wikipedia link I read from there has an unverified claim that the
maroon colour was using paint from the Steam fleet. Not sure if they
mean there was surplus paint or that the colour was chosen to match.

Maroon before the war, grey during the war, and maroon afterwards until
the early 80s, maybe? Maroon was the general "locomotives" colour.
