Colourcoats NARN20 - 1936-1943 Home Fleet Grey 507A / 507B, 13% RF, enamel paint, matte finish.

Based on extensive research using primary source material, Home Fleet Grey is the most accurate on the market bar none. Documented tolerances were 10-13% Light Reflectance Value. NARN20 offers a 13% version; the lightest tolerance. Admiralty Pattern 507B was a glassy formulation containing enamel and in this guise was used from 1936 to 1939. Admiralty Pattern 507A was reintroduced as matte paint from 1939 and remained in the Rate Book of Naval Stores until the 1950s. Use of 507B was suspended from 1940 until 1947 to economize on enamel use and to avoid glare from reflections during wartime.
