Re: Pre-War RAF Squadron colours

Remember FS can only be an approximation to pre-war British colours, and perhaps sometimes not even that, if there is nothing near.

Re squadrons only using standard paints: my "favourite" 607 Sq RAuxAF had squadron colours of mauve and stone. Perhaps you could provide the FS, and preferably the RAF store code number, for those? (As a possible hint, I believe that the mauve was based on Durham University's Palatine Purple.) OK, I'm teasing, but I would really like to know.
