The "official" colors are direct matches to the following Model Master paints (enamels and acrylics):
Haze Gray = Neutral Gray FS36270
Deck Gray = Gunship Gray FS36118
Flight Deck Gray = Engine Gray FS35076
The only difference being that at least for Haze Gray, the USN uses a semi-gloss paint instead of flat but you could always fix that with a clear coat if you want total accuracy.
Hope that helps.
Currently doing the 1/700 STENNIS. Glad to get the "official" colors for the flight deck. My question is about the appropriate colors for the catapults and the ramp. The photos on the calling all fans carrier part of this site show either darker or lighter catapults/covers. Realize that the lighting and and angle of the photos are a big part of the appearance, but just wonder what the should be. Fs26270 haze gray? Fs36118 dec gray? BTW, believe the flight deck gray should be Fs36076 vice what is shown above. Also, should the ramp and the barrier post covers be the 36118 deck gray or ??
