dj_crisp Posted April 24, 2016 Share Posted April 24, 2016 Hi Does anyone know if Laira Blue that went on 50008 goes by another name or if it is produced by anyone? I'm trying to paint match Hornbys 50008 Thunderer Thanks Will Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Gold russ p Posted May 15, 2016 RMweb Gold Share Posted May 15, 2016 I think it's actually rail blue. Rail blue is a very strange colour especially where yellow is present. Years ago I was involved with painting a 25 into blue with small yellow panels. This made the blue look a completely different colour and was reported in the press as being chromatic blue,a colour which may not actually exist it maybe rail blue. I suspect Laura blue is rail blue but the black window surrounds make it look darker. Just a hunch but it maybe an optical illusion Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
dj_crisp Posted May 16, 2016 Author Share Posted May 16, 2016 Thanks Russ. Yep I agree. A colour I haven't worked out myself. I have a Railmatch blue so I'll do a comparison. My feelings were it was darker than that but not quite the same as the large logo variant. Cheers Will Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
