Hi Dirk, and welcome.
I don't know whether the ME Beam engine is modelled on a particular prototype, but these engines were generally painted to a colour to suit the owner, so the choice is pretty much up to you. Common colours were various shades of green, deep red, black, dirty (!). If you want to look at lots of pictures of engines and get some idea of colour schemes, this web site is a good starter. homepage.ntlworld.com/fcrammond/
Good luck with your engine.
