[WWI] "Accurate colours"

[michael wuyek]

I also think time plays tricks with the mind and colours, I actually remember colours I saw long ago being DARKER than they were when I finally see them.
   
  I remember Munson's Book on FIghters 1914-1919 talking about PC10, how it was originally "Greenish", turning Brown with age and exposure. Maybe an English listee can send us photos of different brands of English Chocolate so we compare.
   
  Manfred's pink Albatros D.III WOULD be ineresting. I know my daughter and granddaughter would like it. You figure a light coat of red over a yellowish fuselage or tan fuselage, depending on the varnish used, it starts to fade and if Ortho film was used, it would render it darker looking.
   
  As for the Revlon colors, I think it's close to the HG#121, the Herman Goering Party blush.
