Green livery of the Great Central Railway

Post by Krynio2 »

Hello everyone

Recently, I've been wanting to make a model of one of John G. Robinson's express locomotives, as we all know they were painted in the passenger green version of the GCR livery. Hence my question: Since the "Blender" software used to make 3D models has the option to paste the color in the "HEX" format, would there be a chance that someone would give me the correct code for the green colors that once glittered on this engineer's vehicles? Maybe it's a lot, but I've tried many times using the method "more or less" and I've never been able to even come close to the original. We all know how important it is how our model will be painted. The better we choose the right color, it will translate into the final effect of our work.

Here's an example of a "HEX" code: dd4814
