This should give translations to colours currently available from Humbrol (I hope).

If not, we'll keep looking. What are you modelling?, as there may be alternatives from other manufacturers.

It was the IPMS Stockholm site that I checked...

I'm doing an Spitfire in Swedish WW2 colors, with green topside and grey undersurface.

Check the page in my link, this has mixes from current Humbrol colours which allow you recreate the old out of production Humbrol colours.

I've just checked Hannants website and all the colours given in the mixes should be available.

Hope this isn't too confusing.
