Paint colour quiz

[fv1609]

I have been messing around mixing paints. But before I did this I painted on some reference colours. There are some old favourites, but there are a couple I need to identify. So I would be interested to see what people make of these shades. These are illuminated in daylight.

 

[fv1609]

A = Deep Bronze Green (painted in 1970)

B = Deep Bronze Green

C = Olive Drab

D = NATO Green

H = Light Stone

 

 

G = I don't know what this is. It was sprayed in 1966. I have not been able to match it to anything. Anybody any ideas?

 

F = A concoction I made up that in the lights in the garage looked quite passable doesn't look so good now I have removed the wing & viewed it in sunlight, where all the colours reveal their characteristics properly.

 

E = R&R "Andy's Forest Green"! Thinking that I had a good match with F, I took a test piece & matched exactly to R&R Andy's Forest Green. Having opened the tin it looks nothing like a Forest Green more like a poor Deep Bronze Green. So I don't know it the wrong label was stuck just on mine or a whole batch.

 

So my main quest is a match for G. I am waiting for it to dry but I am getting close with Light Brunswick Green 60%, Appleyard Green 30%, Black 10%. But may not be so good when its dry & in daylight!
