weiBes trooper Posted November 29, 2006 Share Posted November 29, 2006 I know this has probably been asked a million times,but does anybody have a clue to what the real blue color on the packs were? looking at the screen caps there seems to be different color blues,some pics are dark and altered looking and some of the lighter blues look to be the color i remember at the movies when i was a kid and seen it 13 time back in 1977,any body know???

weiBes trooper Posted November 30, 2006 Author Share Posted November 30, 2006 HHHhhhhmmmm,no replies,its either a very stupid question or nobody has a clue..well i found a Humbrol color chart on the internet that seems to have a color that is super close.Its called sea blue 47,since they used Humbrol paints on the helmet,it would seem to me they would use it on the backpack and other props they made,just a thought. http://www.themodelcatalogue.com/acatal ...

SethB6025 Posted November 30, 2006 Share Posted November 30, 2006 Or bird egg maybe. Someone had a theory on a Humbrol color a while back, but its hard to say. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TD-1536 Posted December 1, 2006 Share Posted December 1, 2006 Rustoleum Country Blue or American Accents Slate Gray. Essentially both the same. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cheers Tony oh, sorry... I don't know the 'real' color. I posted that as easy alternatives for today's use. No need to apollogise Mike, I was just interested hoping you had found out what was used. We have to research this properly sometime. Be great to know. Hopefully John Mollo will still remember. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SethB6025 Posted December 1, 2006 Share Posted December 1, 2006 That would be fantastic! The screen-used backpacks are such a black hole when it comes to confirmed info. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
freakengine Posted December 2, 2006 Share Posted December 2, 2006 I used American Accents Iris Blue, and I think it's pretty close. It's always hard to identify "in-person" colors when they've been filtered through film stock choice, grading during processing, lighting choices, etc. It would be incredible if Mollo could actually identify the original paint.
