I always assumed that the inside of Maxey's were red because mice can't see that colour, so to them its just dark and helps them calm down?
And the specific colour green that the maxey's are painted used to be a paint used for train engines years ago. Walter Maxey worked on the railways, so who knows, maybe thats just the colour he could get his hamds on! lol

All regulation maxey's are the same colour green I believe, i think it is a rule. At shows you do see a slight (very slight) varience in colour, but I assume thats because some maxey's are way older than others!

Oh I wouldn't be surprised at all if there are maxey's about that are way older than us! There are probably tons in sheds all over the country that are mega old and not used anymore. I wonder if there are grandchildren around wondering what the hell these green box things are in grandad/grandma's shed! LOL

The colour is Brunswick Green I believe, though i may be wrong.
