WW2 camo colours

[Tony Smith]

These two colours were used interchably in ME, but Light Stone was the more predominant one. See photos above, Portland Stone (a cream/tan colour) is somewhere between US Standard colour FS595 30277and FS595 30318. I haven't been able to compare an original sample of Light Stone (a cream/yellow colour), so cannot give a standard number for that. A source for these colours is Valspar paints, who have the current army contract for paint supplies and can produce matte, satin or gloss colours to milspec standard in enamel or two-pack urethanes, no fillers or flattening agents. They will make paint to FS595 colour standards, or to other colour standards like British BSC or Aust WW2 IF YOU CAN PROVIDE A CLOLOUR CHIP OR SAMPLE. Valspar's Sydney office is (02) 9389 1111, ask for Ian Tulloch. They also have branches in other states, but I don't have their Bris details.
