Like the other members of the A4 class, "Dwight D. Eisenhower" has carried numerous liveries during its career. When first introduced into traffic on 4 September 1937, locomotive 4496 was named "Golden Shuttle" and painted in LNER garter blue with stainless steel trim on the base of the valances and tender. The numbers and LNER lettering on the tender were also stainless steel. This livery design was also used on the A4s that were named after countries, on the "Coronation" service in order to match with the rolling stock.
