[StartQuote] Well, Frank, you've opened a can of worms...[:-devil-:] The two official deck colors in use at the time were 20-B (Deck Blue) and 20-G (Deck Green). [IMaGe]http://i73.photobucket.com/albums/i204/alross2/deck_0001.jpg[/IMaGe][IMaGe]http://i73.photobucket.com/albums/i204/alross2/deck_0002.jpg[/IMaGe] These are taken from WEM's color matched chips. The actual chips are darker than they appear on my screen and probably yours. However, you can get a feeling for the basic shades. According to David Swasey, a camoufleur at ELCO, the RON 10 boats had the white replaced with a light yellowish green (no specific name like Pale Green [5-PG] given). They were transported to the Pacific in the modified Adaptor (Zebra) scheme. So, because this scheme was applied Stateside, the probability is they played by the rules. When the boats were repainted some shade of green (MTB, TROPICAL, NAVY [5-NG], homebrew, etc??) in the Pacific, they may or may not have. Unless you can come up with a deck log stating the actual color used, we may never know for sure. Given the base color (green) of both schemes, it seems reasonable to suggest that the decks were probably green, as well. Your neighbor remembers gray. You choose...
