RobertRoche Posted March 19, 2021 Share Posted March 19, 2021 Could anyone please suggest a suitable colour for the green and blue on the Commuter livery? A Tamiya colour code would be great but a RAL or Humbrol etc would also help. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hi Robert, I used Revell dark blue number 51 on my 29000 railcar-the tin of green paint came from Jim Poots and was used for the light green on his Dublin bus double deck kits and doesn’t have any number. See the photo for comparison. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 RobertRoche Posted March 19, 2021 Author Share Posted March 19, 2021 Thanks Noel, that is a nice green, as expected the actual colour used is not available off the shelf. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 ShaneC Posted March 19, 2021 Share Posted March 19, 2021 (edited) Was going to ask this myself That green looks really close, thanks for the info, going to have to try and re-create it. Edited March 19, 2021 by ShaneC 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 ShaneC Posted March 19, 2021 Share Posted March 19, 2021 So I sampled a bunch of the clearest images I could find there in Photoshop and no RAL matches but Pantone 375 C looks like a perfect match if ordering a custom mixed paint is an option for you @RobertRoche Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 RobertRoche Posted March 19, 2021 Author Share Posted March 19, 2021 Based on drawings kindly provided I make the colour out to be closer to 376C, but the two are very close. I think I will get some mixed just to try it out, though sometimes using the prototype colour on the model can look 'off' for some reason.
