RMweb Gold cambo74 Posted August 14, 2020 RMweb Gold Share Posted August 14, 2020 Hi there - been asked to do a commission of 60074 - anyone got any clues on a paint match for the Blue ?? Looks a bit like Caledonain Teal but possibly a bit bluer...... Ben Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium Hilux5972 Posted August 15, 2020 RMweb Premium Share Posted August 15, 2020 This one? Definitely not Caledonian Teal. More sky blue than anything. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium Hilux5972 Posted August 15, 2020 RMweb Premium Share Posted August 15, 2020 This is No.89 Middle Blue from Humbrol. Looks a close match to me. Perhaps with a little dab of white. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold Metr0Land Posted August 15, 2020 RMweb Gold Share Posted August 15, 2020 Am guessing the OP is talking about 60.074's latest repaint which is very different from the blue of a few years back? And yes it looks more like battleship grey than blue in some pics. 60074 by Matthew Harbon, on Flickr 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold cambo74 Posted August 15, 2020 Author RMweb Gold Share Posted August 15, 2020 Yeah definitely as is now ..... think its gonna be another of those 'depends on the light' colours ... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

rob D2 Posted August 18, 2020 Share Posted August 18, 2020 To my eyes, dark sea grey, looks to be heading in the right direction Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold cambo74 Posted August 18, 2020 Author RMweb Gold Share Posted August 18, 2020 Yeah i think looking at it noe it is grey ..... weird how the light can make a colour look so different ... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
NickL2008 Posted August 18, 2020 Share Posted August 18, 2020 What about railfrieght/flint Grey? NL Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold cambo74 Posted August 19, 2020 Author RMweb Gold Share Posted August 19, 2020 Went for Flint Grey with some medium roof grey added - pretty happy with the result .... 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Squirrel Rail Posted August 22, 2020 Share Posted August 22, 2020 Here's my take on it - I used flint grey as the base but with a couple of other greys and a hint of blue 7 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
