We have now finished a long-over due (and let's be honest, rather tedious!) exercise of producing colour brochures for the Colourcoats paint range. Having ruled out physical paint chips long ago (my time is worth more than anyone will want to pay) and being aware that ink just isn't very good, we have opted for downloadable brochures. These are free and you can print them at your peril!

... they're on the "to do" list for some revision. We will update these charts as we go. The general understanding of WW2 Royal Navy colours seemed to take a drastic turn for the worse in the 1970s. It could be worse I suppose - people could be reciting Federal Standard 595 codes for them ...

Just teasing a bit; I know the situation. Good work for putting reference material on the web; people should do that more often.

I know ;)

To be honest I keep hearing things that in a round about way mean that people don't know how big the range is, and some who don't always know the names of colours can see them all together with a visual representation. :thumbs_up_1:
