BLUE fed2.

FSU camears NEVER were made in pink/blue/other glamour colors and this seller don't say anything about mechanical/optical state of the camera/lens.
 
Various well regarded web sites dealing with the FSU cameras have documented production of FED 2 cameras with red, dark blue, and green "vulcanite". Apparently none were originally produced with top and bottom plates in anything but the chrome finish. The camera in this auction is obviously someone's custom project.

Back when FED-2's were cheap and shipping was cheap, I was able to acquire a blue, red, green and "sand" as well as the common black. All have chrome tops. The blue on mine is much darker. The red is a very deep -- "blood" red. The "sand" is more of a silver to my eye. The green is a dark color, such that unless the light is decent it looks black. Dave
 
As for colours we here are talking about two things:

a) the stuff in the ad above in the initial posting. that's most probably a paint-job done by a previous owner.

and

b) the colour variants of the lower body parts of the production Fed-2 camera bodies. They came in dark shades of either green (I have one myself), blue or red (no clue about black right now) and are most probably original paint from the production-plant.

Hope this helps.:)
 
As far as the seller not saying anything about condition, you have to remember that this is Goodwill and the camera was a contribution. Most Goodwill people would not be qualified not to express an opinion on operating condition and they are smart enough to recognize that. Bid accordingly. I have bought some nice equipment inexpensively from Goodwill, but I bid accordingly. Dave
