Finally!



Probably only of interest to the more military of us.



I have finally combined the BS 381 C colour chart with the 'Other British Standard Colours' chart. This is now the most complete chart on the net!



Took literally bloody hours, getting the colours correct. Most BS 381 C charts look very wrong on computers, but this should be correct. (Yes, 443 and 447 are BOTH salmon pink!) Those familiar with old telephone equipment will remember the exchange stuff was cream. It's Light Straw 384. On most charts it looks orange, but on mine it looks like the deep cream it is supposed to be.
Very old telephone equipment? 631

Restoring a Lister engine? 226!


BR modellers? 114 rail blue.


WWII camo colours? 298, 380, 389, 420, 435, 436, 437, 626, 629 depending on scheme


RAF? Navy? It's all there!



YAY! Something wonderful happened today! oh, Service Brown is 499!

there a large version on the link at the bottom!

Interesting Scaly, I have a WDCO sitting beside my computer that I painted in Service Brown a few months ago (that is what is written on the tin) but it isn't Service brown as per your chart it is Beech Brown
