Whilst there is primary source evidence of Nelson’s desire to employ a pale yellow on the topsides of the ships of the Mediterranean fleet, the evidence is also conclusive in confirming that the proposal was ...

2015年8月20日 · Despite wearing the common yellow ochre for many years, her stripes are now a pale pink ("salmon", "peach", "pale red" depending on your perception). This is not a joke - the best estimate is this is the colour she showed in 1805. A smaller change is that the font used for her name on the stern will also be modified.

We know Nelson wasn’t happy with the shade of ochre on Victory’s sides and asked for more white paint to make them paler.

2015年2月23日 · When i have been on Pompey based ships and run past the real Victory on the way to work, her "yellow" has always appeared a much darker Ochre (almost orange) colour, but I did my Heller/Airfix Victory in the Model Color - result is amazing.

2006年1月10日 · I’m getting ready to start on the Victory by Heller and I’m trying to track down the yellow. The kit says “Sunflower Yellow” or Humbrols “Trainer Yellow” but I’m having trouble finding these. Another suggestion was “Yellow Ochre”, but this seems to …

The kit says "Sunflower Yellow" or Humbrols "Trainer Yellow" but I'm having trouble finding these. Another suggestion was "Yellow Ochre", but this seems to pale. What colors did you use for the Victory?
