And I'll third that Richard, well said.
There is absolutely no point in replicating what we imagine might have been the exact colours on a small piece of plastic (or anything else) anyway. It's art, not science and as Allyne says, everyone's perception is different.
I'm interested in the research of the paints and preparations used on WW2 aircraft, but don't confuse that with what I put on my models.It's supposed to be fun isn't it? If it looks alright to you, then that's as good as it gets
Some may remember this Spitfire XIV owned by Spencer Flack and flown in a rather snazzy red and white scheme.
At one air show Flack was told that his Spitfire was not in the right colours and should be painted as in WW2. His reply is the stuff of legend.
"And what colour is your Spitfire?"
Enough said!
Cheers
