When I first got into retros, I was very curious of the colors of them. The color of the ones out in the field year after year. So I spent a few days looking through the archives trying to find the largest resolution color photos and their source I could find. These are the ones I collected. (You can right click on each picture and open in new tab to see full size image)
I am sure some of these have already been posted.
