Color: Italian Roundel and Rudder Colors

[ReducedAirFact]

First the usual caveats: Unless you've got a high-end, wide-gamut monitor in perfect calibration (and who does?), do not trust the colors you see on your monitor! Instead, visit your local paint store and see if you can find paint samples like the ones listed below and then match your hobby paints against those. The goal is just to "get close". See 'Color: why we'll never get it exactly right' (http://www.wingsofwar.org/forums/showthread.php?24990-Color-why-we-ll-never-get-it-exactly-righthttp://). As noted in The SIA SP.2 & SP.3, "recent restorations have shown a certain latitude existed. The green, in particular, could be very light."
