Correct,but that's before they became red, and probably before GOH. The door is orange. As late as around late 1984 and early 1985, they still used the orange and beige scheme. This was before the "graffiti-free" period. I remember being on a few R27 or R30's in that timeframe (so I assume they still did on the IRT also), and they still occasionally painted the interors, and in that color. (I don't remember if it was just the interor, or if they still did both inside and out at that time. The look of that car lasted about a few days before returning to the graffiti look.) If they did do the exteriors, it was still done in the "MTA" silver and blue.
