Re: Reckitts Blue
I come from Hull and once in my youth visited Reckitt's factory and saw the famed 'blue' being manufactured. It was a vivid medium blue. It had some of the quality of the blue you see used in those old adverts painted on the sides of French houses. My mother-in-law, who can be considered an expert on R's Blue, is visiting and together we have viewed the paint chips which were published in 'British Aviation Colours of WW2'. Azure Blue is the nearest - but not dark enough. Deep Sky is far too dark and Light Mediterranean Blue too grey.
