If you want to catch peoples eye.
Always thought that it would be interesting to use temperature sensitive paint in the correct color range for a display substitute for Gas Detector Paint. After all real Gas Detector paint is going to do one of two things: Not change color or if you are in an urban pollution area tell you not to breath the air.
But if you used a temperature sensitive or light sensitive paint for the warning patch of paint would be changing all the time, making for a much lively vehicle display particularly if you are diving for your gas mask every time it changes color.

Interesting to read about the Mk1 and 11 gas paints and the changeover date.
This is my early 1940 applied paint against a background of KG No.3 . A fairly clear yellow. I can't see any greenish tinge in this particular example.

Some time ago I posted this pic on my C8 data plate thread and it just dawned on me that it'll be gas detection paint. It's on the hood on a 1941 F8 signals truck so what better shape to make it than a winged Mercury? Half the pic was too much of a shadow so I doctored it and that's why it's split into two different colours. The bottom half is the accurate colours.
