I have seen 101's in different colors than Indian Red but what years and options were available I know not. Packard type dark blue with cream side panels, black, and maybe a dark green come to mind but I think these were in the '30 to '31 range.

I agree with RichO, there are some nice examples on YouTube with the dark blue and cream tank combo.

A dark green and silver tank/fender combo would look great but I’m not sure if it would have been offered in 29.

In the Library there is a document credited to Geers showing paint schemes 1901 to 1929 but to be honest I had a hard time making heads or tails out of it.

Just an idea, and not sure available in 1929, but here is a tank from 28-31 (Four, not 101) in dark green and cream. Looks to be original with the dark green redone in spots….

You can kinda make out dealer decals on either side of the front….

I can make out the Indian in red, and it looks like “Bucks”?

Anyway, a neat color combination.
