Funny thing about the original black & white photos, they can be a bit misleading. The 'dark tarmac' wasn't actually black.....if you look at tarmac roads/pavements in the UK (older ones) they are more a 'weathered grey'. The photo below was mixed from an original Dark Tarmac sample (the green is Khaki G3, for reference).

Heading back to the UK (where my truck is) for the Christmas period, so if you'd like a physical sample of the Dark Tarmac mailing to you, let me know?

Paint will age and change color........ the OD green used in Oshawa in 1940 usually washes out to a sick mustard yellow..... even inside some weather sheltered spot have only a very very thin coat and is some what flat green.

The have lighting you at the time of day outside or inside cool or hot white lights that the photo was taken and the capacity of each an individual monitor's rendition of what it thinks the color is.... all different shades

My wife uses a spider device that attaches hanging in the centre of her screen to recalibrate colors....... and even then I do not agree to what the calibrated monitor tell me color wise. So short of bringing your whole truck or one fender
....but then why not bring the whole truck.....free parking at the Hammond Barn
