Re: Short Singapore
As a maritime aircraft, there's no reason for it to have been painted in the colours of land-based aircraft. I'd go with Temperate Sea Scheme. You could argue that anything goes for a decoy, and in that case the colours may have been Dark Earth and Light Earth. However, Dark Green fades into a chocolate brown, and Dark Earth fades lighter.
If you look at the Guidleine booklets, you'll find that Paul Lucas has unearthed a number of prewar camouflage studies for this area, with a range of very interesting colours, especially for biplanes.
