Color code needed

[drschmidt]

Hi,

does anyone here have RAL numbers for the light gray on the original Nautilus SSN-571? My first version was painted in a light silver gray (RAL 7001). I read that the color is named Ocean gray. The only thing I found about that color is:

36173 Ocean Gray, NAVSEA, Low solar absorbent gray #17

but I'd need a RAL equivalent to get the right 2K-paint.

Use the Star scale and there is 1 that is near same.

RAL Colrs
While reading I came across a post that said RAL 7031 (Blaugrau) is used for Ocean Gray.

Thanks. Yes, I ran into the Star scale, but I'm not so happy with the conversion to Design RAL which is different from the standard RAL scale. But I like the 7031. I used 7001 on my first Nautilus, which is very light. I think too light. So I'll give the 7031 a try.

Thanks for the help!
