Item 1. Five Color Day Upper, Very Dark
A. Dark blue 20F5 B. Dark Purple 16E5 C. Blackish blue 20G6 D. Dull green 30E5 E. Leather Brown 6E6 This is the first one using colors sampled directly from my scans of the plates. I suspect that they may run a little dark but if the hues are right, that's easily corrected.

Good! If you get the chance, post the four-color Methuen codes so I can get started on them. Items 1 & 4 may run a little too dark overall; I'm curious to see how close they are to what you intended.

Dan, any progress on checking the samples I posted earlier? Can also get started on four color schemes if you will post Methuen codes.
Also have not yet received your five- & four-color pattern drawings -- would very much like to create templates for future samples from them.

From the Fk. D.VIII Upper Wing Thread
Item 5.
The top 4 color day pattern colors are: Lozenge 1, Dull violet, 19D4. Lozenge 2, Greyish blue, 23F7 Lozenge 3, Brown, 6E4 Lozenge 4, Olive, 3E4 Item 6. The 4 color day bottom colors are: Lozenge 1, Greyish blue 23D5 Lozenge 2, Stone grey 3E2 Lozenge 3, Dark blonde 5D4 Lozenge 4, Greyish red 11D4 Am unable to provide fabric swatches -- my template is taken from the small illustration provided in Windsocks & I'm not satisfied that it's accurate enough to show.

"The four stains used on the Fok.E.V wing. While we don't have the original stains that Fokker used, However we have the names of the colors which are:
True green (vivid green) 27A8 Mocha (dark brown) 5F7 Azin violet 17A8 Azure (blue) 23A7.... Dan-San" Patrick Thanks for all your hard work and inspiration. Now... what are the chances of getting rgb or LAB numbers on the wing stains?? Regards, Allan |

Dan-San,
I'm working on your 5-color recommendations, and including the Fokker D8 stains in the Metheun codes that you mentioned. This time I'm using a gray background instead of the normal white background. The gray is much the same color as the gray sample card that comes with the book.
