Hi all

In another topic I posted the question about USMC camo colours used on amphibious craft during WW2. After much digging on the net, I cam across a site which lists all the colours approved by the USN Bureau of Yards & Docks. Excellent listing...but it only gives these as RGB, CYK & Munsell values.
Does anyone know of a handy way to convert these values to model paint matches - or if indeed there is a table already published?

TIA

Thanks Matt.
I stumbled across this table earlier, but found it unusable as the info I had to work with listed the R&G&B and C&Y&K values individually as opposed to one single code as well as the Munsell value.
