All:
Below please find a link to a nice picture of the RCN Flower Class Corvette HMCS Midland being painted up in a modified Western Approaches scheme:
https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/ ... 821041.jpgIt seems that an overall mid-gray scheme is being overpainted with a Western Approaches White and dark blue scheme (though the dark blue panel looks too dark and intense to be B5). Thus, dark blue has been used in lieu of the pale Western Approaches Blues and Greens in the panels above the waterline.
Might anyone have insight into what color this might be, or whether the passage of time, and color shifts typical of Kodachrome or other early color films might distort the color reproduction (after all, the water is an oily black-gray color!).
Also, please note that the Flower Class Corvettes in the background seem to be painted in AP507A, dark gray, which was also often used as a substitute color for WA Blue panels. Compared to these gray ships, the Blue panels on Midland are a very different color.
Thoughts?
Thanks in advance for your response.
Stay healthy all!!!
Best,
Mike E.
