The stripe is red. It's just faded photographs that make it look orange. The
hardest match is the colour around the windows, as it's a very dark grey cyanic
colour. I suppose if you live in England it counts as "sea blue". I think dark
grey, blue, black or sand blue are all equally valid substitutes, but obviously
blue is best for getting hold of Lego train windows.
I did design an NBLTC container, but I was told they wouldn't allow it be seen
in public until I got rid of the medium-yellow-orange and sand-green stripes.
