Patrick:
I have a feeling you scanned copy of the Methuen Hand book is not quite up to snuff. The color values you have are not correct.
In the text of the Methuen Handbook there is a discussion of the color black and the extrapolation of codes beyond "F". The black depicted on the color charts is about a coal black, There are some colors in "Alphabetical List of Names (of Colour) are defined in column G and H and are not illustrated in the Handbook. I would suggest you get a copy of the names and Colour names for Plate 1 through Plate 30. They are essential.
I think you have missed what I wish to do. I have neither the time or desire to repeat all the work I have done in getting to where I am. As it is there are sme days I am involved with the Forum 7 or 8 hours. I don't have the time to spare.
What I had asked Jan to do is put the color chip with RBG values on the screen on specific aircraft. Also I had intended to go through all th printed fabrics and establish the color chip with the RBG values. The ultimate purpose here is for decal manufacturer or whoever, wants to get it right, he can refer to the specific chart and he has his answers.
I do not want to get into a discussion of various fabric samples.
Please d not be offended, that is not my intent, I only wish to set the program on the desired course. Please send me your mailing address, I 'll send you a copy of my 4 and 5 color pattern.
Blue skies,
Dan-San
P.S. I have a VERY full plate, I am working on the Albatros Aircraft CD, shortly to start a biography of the Major General Young Sen-yat, the first Commander of the Republic of China Air Force and Lt.Col. Harry W.Abbott, the second Commander of the RoCAF. all; that along with other projects that pop up unexpectedly.
