Blues

Sometimes these blue colors can be really frustrating. Mixing the F-2 colors were bad enough, but I haven't been able to get the right look on the NSAWC F-16. 35190 is an elusive color. It is light, yet deep and vibrant. Xtracolor 15190 was too pale and a little greenish - like 35414. I'm now trying Humbrol H48 Mediterranean Blue - its close, but a little dark. Time for more mixing, 20% white looks right.
