S3.2 Numbering System.
S3.2.1 First Digit. The first digit of the color number
indicates the color at a level or degree of gloss. The colors are
divided only into three generalized finishes; gloss, semi-gloss
and flat. For ease in judging the color matching (see also 3.3)
the color number closest in gloss to that required should be
specified. Specific levels of gloss, other than these standard
levels must be separately specified in the procurement documents.
First Digit----Finish
1-------------Gloss
2-------------Semi-Gloss
3-------------Flat or Lusterless
S3.2.2 Second Digit. The second digit of the color number
indicates an arbitrarily selected color classification grouping.
Second Digit----Predominate Color Grouping
0-----------------Brown
1-----------------Red
2-----------------Orange
3-----------------Yellow
4-----------------Green
5-----------------Blue
6-----------------Gray
7-----------------Miscellaneous (whites, blacks, etc.)
8-----------------Fluorescent
S3.2.3 Last Three Digits. The last three digits of the color
number are assigned in the approximate order of increasing
reflectance.

I cannot argue with that statement Matt but we do need some kind of benchmark today if we are to try to achieve a reasonable level of accuracy. Our own inability to constantly achieve exact paint matches mimicks what happened in period to some degree. However if we throw away our reference charts we loose that benchmark and our attempts to colour match could then become less succesful than period attempts (who were after all at least trying or were required to match to a specific colour).Matt Gunsch wrote:one problem with trying to match a paint chip is the fact there was a war on, and no one cared if the color was a shade off.
The reason for this is zinc chromate is not a 'color' but a protective coating made by a number of different manufacturers. The chemical composition of the product is more controlled than the colour rendition and consequently there would have been many different shades of finish, even, as you say, from the same manufacturer.Matt Gunsch wrote:Modelers for years have argued about the correct shade of chromate green. I have had chromate from the same maker come out differnt shades of green
