Measure 1 was officially 5-D Dark Gray and 5-L Light Gray. These colors are available from a couple of manufacturers as matches or there are some people who have looked over paint chips and list what they think are close matches from other companies.
TruColor Paint has them in their
Military Ships line as
TCP-1021 (5-D) and TCP-1013 (5-L). Hull red is TCP-1000. They aren't sold in many hobby shops but you can mail order them.
Soverign Hobbies has the paints as well in their
Colourcoats line. They're based in England and shipping can be problematic, so they sell through
Warship Hobbies on their
eBay store.
The controversy is if Arizona was repainted into either 5-S Sea Blue (most likely what "mediterreanin blue" refers to) or 5-O Ocean Gray. Both were used on Navy ships starting in 1941 and we know for a fact that cruisers started painting into 5-S Sea Blue in August of that year. SO there were definitely ships in that beautiful bright blue at the time of the attack, we just don't have any really good proof one way or another for Arizona.
Also, with regards to turret tops - there's evidence that only turrets #2 and #4 were painted red. #3 was likely "#20 Deck Gray" because of the airplanes stored and leaking there but we don't have any proof for the exact color. Turret #1 was not painted red earlier in 1941, when she was in the all-over pre-war gray, but we don't have any good proof for the summer and later.
