There was light blue in this place among the other paints. Sample I have never was under ground, under water... Maybe in some future will make some work in this field.

I would be very interested in this chart you mention.
(I wonder if this chart was used by the makers of AKAN enamels.(model paint)
what preserved fighter is that? I'm always interested in seeing Soviet aircraft of this period preserved for future generations.
let us hope a proper scientific examination of this paint sample is made.
