FAA Hurricane colors?
 
I recently threw together a skin for Sea hurricanes.
But the more i looked at it the more the colors just didnt look right.
I have changed them using a different RAF color chart, and I think Im closer, but still not sure.
What do you think?

Personally Im leaning toward the second one. The Sky looks closer to pics Ive seen of flying Hurricanes, and the top colors seem to be a bit more subdued, more natural almost.

So which one is closest?
:confused:

Im not so sure.
I wish there was a standardized reference for colors, but alas...
For sure the Sky color for the underside is closer to accurate, so I have top assume that the others are too.
Would still love to hear more informed opinions.

Hi CWMV
For accurate Colour Swatches go to SimmersPaintShop[link below].
This list is for U.K Aircraft Colours.
Look at box to the right of the colours called "Usage" and this will tell what this colour was used for.
There are a few FAA Colours listed so this may help.
To import into Gimp or Photoshop either use Colour picker or
what I do is highlight and Copy the "Hex" value [to the left of colour] and
Paste into "HTML_notation" Box in the Paint Toolbox of Gimp[or similar in Photoshop]
