[SEL] British Paints - re Blackstone

[c]

Hi -

Bit late, but have just seen the string on Blackstone colours.
BSI381c is a British Standards Institute classification for a
paint family. The key number follows the class - eg 224.
Each colour has a specific name, eg Deep Bronze Green.

To match elsewhere in the world, a Google search on BSI381c-224
will yield many hits. One particular technical site I found is
http://www.perbang.dk/rgb/304020/. This gives a bunch of weird
looking numbers, but they all mean something very specific to image
makers - & hopefully paint makers. Gives a very precise definition of
the colour - in this case BSI381c-224. (Same site covers any colour,
not just -224)

Several of the sites saying they have colour matches for -224 seem
to be blank for that colour, although having many other greens.

I have a Blackstone 12hp, & agree with Michael Key's specification.
Very rare to find a Blackstone in any other colour, although I believe
some of the verticals were black.
