=== The LMS era ===

==== Pre-1942 ====
Before applying the top coats of paint, the LMS would apply a matt undercoat of shop grey. The first non-streamlined loco was fitted with mock-up nameplates and numbers for each of the first batch of locos which was then photographed to mimic each individual loco. Those temporary nameplates are now in the NRM's collection in York. The ensuing LMS top coats for the Coronation Class came in two basic colours during this period: Caledonian blue and crimson lake. Linings for streamliners involved the renowned 'speed whiskers' comprising stripes emerging from a fixed point in the lower centre of the front of the locomotive to run in parallel along the sides. Non-streamliners carried the standard LMS-style lining.

The first five locomotives, Nos. 6220–6224, were painted in Caledonian blue livery with banding in silver-coloured aluminium paint.{{r|Haresnape|p=115}} Wheels, lining to the edges of the bands, and the background to the chromium-plated nameplates were painted in a darker blue, Navy or Prussian blue.{{r|Haresnape|p=115}}

The second and fourth batches of streamlined locomotives, Nos. 6225–6229 and 6235–6244, were painted in crimson lake livery, with banding in gold lined with vermilion and black.{{r|Haresnape|p=115}} Nameplates had a black background.{{r|Haresnape|p=125}} LMS shop grey was carried briefly in service on No. 6229 ''Duchess of Hamilton'' from 7 September 1938 until its return to Crewe Works later that year.<ref>{{cite book |last=Talbot |first=Edward |year=2002 |title=The Coronation Scot, The Streamline Era on the LMS |location=Stafford |publisher=Edward Talbot |isbn=0-9542787-1-2 |at=Page 60, Plate 77}}</ref><ref name="Jennison">{{cite book |last1=Jennison |first1=John |last2=Meanley |first2=Bob |last3=Essery |first3=Bob |author-link3=Bob Essery |last4=James |first4=Fred |last5=Hunt |first5=David |title=Pictorial Supplement to LMS Locomotive Profile No. 11 – The 'Coronation' Pacifics |year=2009 |publisher=Wild Swan |location=Didcot |isbn=978-1-905184-62-0}}</ref>{{rp|19}} It was then painted crimson lake and disguised as No. 6220,{{r|Haresnape|p=115}} in preparation for the 1939 visit to the New York World's Fair. Lettering and numerals for both Caledonian blue and crimson lake liveries were in a newly created style of unshaded sans-serif.{{r|Talbot11|p=50}}

The non-streamlined Nos. 6230–6234 were painted in a special version of the standard crimson lake livery.{{r|Haresnape|p=124}} The locomotives were lined out in gold bordered with fine red lines. Serif lettering and numerals in gold leaf and vermillion shading were applied. Handrails and sundry small external fittings were chrome-plated, as were the nameplates, which had a black background.{{r|Haresnape|p=124}}

Two unusual events have been recorded. Firstly, in 1940 No. 6221 ''Queen Elizabeth'' had its Caledonian blue colour scheme replaced by the crimson lake, the only such instance.{{r|Baker|p=64}} Secondly, it was often speculated that at some time in the two-year history of the ''Coronation Scot'' a crimson streamliner might have hauled the blue trainset. Such an event has, probably uniquely, been captured on film.{{r|Talbot11|p=32 |at=Plate 36}}

==== Post-1942 ====

Black was the overriding colour for this period, with one exception. Streamlined locomotives Nos. 6245–6248 were outshopped at Crewe in 1943 painted plain black.{{r|Haresnape|p=138}} The following two batches, Nos. 6249–6255, constructed without streamlining, were also painted unlined black; the lettering and numerals on all these locomotives was in serif style coloured yellow with red shading.{{r|Haresnape|p=138}} From 1946 onwards de-streamlined locomotives were mostly repainted in black with LMS-style lining. The lining comprised a broad maroon centre with fine straw yellow edging. Lettering and numbers were in a sans-serif Grotesque font, coloured yellow with an inner maroon line.{{r|Haresnape|pp=140–141}} By the end of 1947, 29 of the 37 locomotives were painted thus.{{r|Baker|p=64}}

The one exception to black was No. 6234 ''Duchess of Abercorn'' which in 1946 was painted in a blue-grey colour.{{r|Hunt|pp=105, 143, 166}}{{r|Jennison|p=49}}<ref>{{cite book |last=Binns |first=Donald |year=1988 |title=LMS Locomotives at Work - 2, Coronation Class 4-6-2 |publisher=Wyvern Publications |location=Skipton |isbn=0-907941-32-X|page=18}}</ref> This represented the proposed post-war livery and the lining, painted on one side of the locomotive only, comprised a pale straw yellow line along the running plate with yellow and black edging to cab and tender. Lettering and numerals used a sans-serif font.{{r|Haresnape|p=139}}{{r|Jenkinson|loc=Plate 73}}

=== The British Railways era ===

==== Pre-1951 ====
Early in 1948, before the new liveries for the whole of British Railways had been decided upon, Nos. 46229, 46232 and 46236 were repainted LMS-style lined black (crimson and straw lining){{r|Baker|p=64}} and No. 46257 was similarly turned out when constructed in July.{{r|Jenkinson|loc=Plate 199}} Throughout 1948 and 1949 the English locomotives (now under the control of the [[London Midland Region of British Railways]]) were relined in an experimental BR lined black,{{r|Hunt|pp=143, 148, 150, 166}}{{r|Jennison|p=51}} which used LNWR-style red, cream and grey lining (similar to that adopted for Mixed Traffic locos), and 'BRITISH RAILWAYS' in Gill Sans on the tender.<ref name="Rowledge87">{{cite book |last=Rowledge |first=J.W.P. |year=1987 |title=The L.M.S. Pacifics |publisher=David & Charles |location=Newton Abbot |isbn= 0-7153-8776-6}}</ref>{{rp|22}}
The Scottish locomotives based at Glasgow's Polmadie shed, which were under the control of the [[Scottish Region of British Railways|Scottish Region]], were destined for a brighter future. Commencing in May 1948, seven of the class were called in to be painted in "experimental blue". This livery was a somewhat darker shade than that adopted as the standard express livery the following year, being more similar to the former [[Great_Eastern_Railway|GER]] blue, and lined out in the LNWR style lining with 'BRITISH RAILWAYS' in Gill Sans on the tender.{{r|Rowledge87|pp=21, 22}} So sudden was the adoption of this blue livery that No. 46232, fresh in LMS-style lined black following its heavy general repair, was called back after a mere four days to be repainted blue.{{r|Baker|pp=64, 112}} Around this time BR was also experimenting with various shades of green on the other regions.{{r|Banks|loc=Rear jacket}}

The Polmadie experiment was upheld by British Railways in 1949 when the somewhat brighter BR standard blue was selected for all its large passenger locomotives, despite the fact that the [[Great Western Railway]] (GWR), the [[Southern Railway (UK)|Southern Railway]] (SR) and the London & North Eastern Railway (LNER) had overwhelmingly painted their locomotives green (the LMS by contrast concentrating on crimson lake). Blue was subsequently carried by 27 of the 38 Coronation Class locomotives. The first two to be so painted, Nos. 46242 and 46243 were outshopped in the new colour when they received their heavy general repairs in May 1949.{{r|Baker|pp=64, 144, 148}} The blue livery, which was subsequently phased out, lasted until September 1955.{{r|Baker|pp=64, 186}}

British Railways undertook a massive programme to establish itself by repainting all its locomotives with their new BR numbers and replacing their previous corporate identity with its own. Gone were the tenders proclaiming the railway companies' logos, emblems and even coats of arms, to be replaced by the stark <small>BRITISH RAILWAYS</small> lettering. The enormity of this task meant that the necessary repainting was not necessarily carried out to coincide with an overall repaint. For the Coronation Class, all locomotives had been through this process by the end of 1948 except for Nos. 6223, 6238, 6248, 6250, and 6252–6255, a total of 29 locomotives.{{r|Banks|pp=147–148}} Only thirteen locomotives out of the 29 received new liveries to accompany their renumbering.

Subsequently, in 1949 a crest was designed to replace the spartan <small>BRITISH RAILWAYS</small> logo. In turn, this would be replaced in 1956 by yet another design of crest.<ref>{{cite book |last=Jackson |first=Tanya |title=British Railways: The Nation's Railway |date=2013 |publisher=[[The History Press]] |location=Stroud |isbn=978-0-7524-9742-6 |chapter=6}}</ref>

[[File:Chester general 9 railway station geograph-2192488.jpg|thumb|right|In 1964, No. 46238 ''City of Carlisle'' shows off its coat of LMR Maroon. It also sports a yellow 'line prohibition' stripe.]]

The decision to adopt blue as the standard colour was subsequently reversed and Locomotive green was introduced in November 1951 with No. 46232 ''Duchess of Montrose''.{{r|Hunt|p=153}} Between October 1955{{r|Hunt|p=153}} and December 1957,{{r|Hunt|p=157}} all 38 locomotives carried it concurrently, the only livery the entire class carried.{{r|Hunt|p=136}}

In the late 1950s the decision was made that the [[London Midland Region of British Railways|London Midland Region's]] main line locomotives could carry the colour maroon. This permission did not extend to the [[Scottish Region of British Railways|Scottish Region]] whose locomotives remained green until withdrawal.

The LMR maroon was carried on 16 locomotives from the late 1950s: Nos. 46225-6, 46228-9, 46236, 46238, 46240, 46243-48, 46251, 46254 and 46256.{{r|Hunt|p=157}}{{r|Jennison|p=118}} No. 46245 was the first, in December 1957; a further fifteen examples followed between May and November 1958.{{r|Hunt|p=157}} The style of lining varied: the first six repaints into maroon (including No. 46245) were lined out in the LMS style; the last ten received the BR style of lining as used on the standard green livery; No. 46247, originally lined in the LMS style, was given the BR style in July 1959; and by November 1961 those with the BR lining were repainted to match No. 46245.{{r|Hunt|p=157}}

Because of insufficient clearance between the locomotives and the 25 kV overhead electric wires south of Crewe, the whole class was banned from operating under them with effect from 1 September 1964. To highlight this prohibition a yellow diagonal stripe was painted on the cab sides. This inability of the locomotives to operate on the line for which they were designed was crucial in the decision to withdraw the entire class.{{r|Jenkinson|loc=Plate 95}}
