Description
Light Sea Blue is a desaturated blue-gray tone developed by the U.S. Navy for aircraft and ship camouflage during World War II. It served as the upper surface color in various air wing schemes, especially in 1943–44 tri-color applications. This hue blended with oceanic and sky backgrounds, offering concealment for naval aircraft during carrier operations in the Pacific Theater.

Item #29384 Railroad Model Color Paint Set

- Non-Specular Light Gray (underside)
