I have a 1968 cub lo-boy offset style.The tractor is yellow and cream. I have a complete set of wheel weights and would like the paint them the correct color before I mount them. I have seen them painted yellow and some paint the cream color. Which is the correct color? They are red now. Maybe they where off an earlier farmall cub.

The weights should be the same color as the disk/wheel they are bolted to. In your case that means the cream/white color. Your red weights were probably on an older tractor.
 
Jim is correct--I just happened across the authority for same:

There IS another memo in there that refers to service parts such as Cub wheels/weights that might be cream on an International Lo-Boy but red on a Farmall; the Product Committee was authorized to sell these in either or both colors as the Committee saw fit. Therefore, those weights could have been bought new for that tractor but were red only because that was the only color available when bought separate from the tractor. My yellow 140 ended up with grey and red pieces for just this reason. Eventually, I "yellowed" them.
 
Thanks for the info.I think my wheel weights should be paint ih white, the same as the wheel disks.
I have seen them painted yellow. It maybe a personal preferents.
My friend has an IH 1961 lo-boy, the one with 4 bar grill. That year they offer the tractor in yellow and red. The whole tractor is yellow. no white on the wheels. His wheel weights are yellow, front and rear. Would these have been painted at the dealership or factory? They appear to be original.
