With all the currently-developing information on WW2 naval camouflage colors,
Randy Short and I are considering marketing a set of paint chips matched
directly from the 1929/42 Munsell Book of Color, which was the standard upon
which all USN paints were based and for which Alan Raven has provided RN
references. We also have a number of actual paint chips from which to provide
exact matches. We would propose to package logical sets of chips (for
instance, the USN purple-blues, USN greens, etc.), along with suggested
mixing formulas using readily-available model paints which Randy is
preparing. Modelers would then be able to mix their own paints to accurately
match their required camo colors, testing the mix against the paint chips. We
propose to begin with USN and RN colors, but are pursuing leads to match Axis
naval colors also, and would like to have the first sets available at the
IMPS Nationals this summer, as well as by mail-order at that time.

Our question: is there interest out there in the naval modeling community?
