Re: Paint colors DD 858 Postfram (1962)

don't know what current paint companies call it but the USNavy called it "Haze Gray" for the bulkheads and "Deck Gray" for the decks.
haze gray was a flat gray color and deck gray a much darker shade.
this was from 1961 to 1966 (my stint as a boatswain's mate, USN in which i came in contact with more gray paint than i care to remember!)
