There is a WW1 Battleship being restored, apparently they’ve found 38 colours (shades?) on it!

It's true that there are, as many have said, various shades of Grey used by the Admiralty over the years. Personally I've always admired the Dazzle paint scheme [Link]. I know Radar made it redundant, but still, its much more interesting than allover grey.

No idea what a Vice would like painted in that scheme though, you might have difficulty working out if its open, closed or even there!
