Re: This too bright?

Never use that color chart again

Our colorchart shows clearly how off the FS colors are. Just look at our colors (based on Erik Pilawskii's book Soviet Air Force Fighter Colours using Munsell) and then the closest matching FS595 color which are used by IPMS.

The closest match would be 24151 (silk which even does not exist) so lets compare with 34151 which is the matt version of the color.

The middle one is the original color the right one is FS 34151 which is much darker. I put RAL 6025 at the left since I had a paint cottle of it.
Compared to the color you used your color is a bit too bright and sure too blue.

Translated to model paint I'd say Humbrol 38 (which is gloss) comes close (bit too bright maybe) I had Revell 360 to compare difference which is a RAL 6025 color which I show at the left.

Note: I just used the RAL color as "calibration" since it was my closest color which I also had in very reliable RGB values.
