The specification that was outlined for the new EWS livery was:

* Maroon - bodysides, roofs and ends. To get the correct WC shade of maroon, a sample ‘plate’ was flown from the USA to the UK and colours mixed to match it. When the Class 66s and 67s were being built, WC sent another sample ‘plate’ to General Motors to mix, and it is said that this shade is slightly lighter than the British mix.[citation needed]
* Black - underframes and bufferbeams.
* Gold - most locomotives have a 600-mm gold band, but Class 37s, 58s and 73s look better with a 550-mm band due to their ‘odd’ shapes.
* Yellow - standard UK cab-end warning panels, and a reflective tape along the bottom of the body side, a safety feature taken from WC practice arising from the need in the USA for locomotives to be visible at night to motorists approaching unprotected level crossings.

All lettering was also in maroon applied over the gold, including:

* EW&S in Arial Bold typeface in maroon on the gold band. The ampersand was later dropped. The typeface was later changed to Gill Sans, used by the LNER from the late 1920s and by BR until the 1960s.
* Locomotive number in the same style.
* Class number and locomotive number grouped as a single five-figure number, not spaced out as BR had insisted.[citation needed]
