It is thought to be the only one in existence. Unfortunately the original paint had been removed before a sample could be taken. This person wrote in part " AAMME, Moorebank have been most helpful and advised that the panels may have been painted either a "light" or "mid" Brunswick Green (ASK185 colours 225 and 226, now AS2700 colours G14(moss green) and G12(holly), respectively). However, AAMME's few panels have also been sandblasted and repainted. We have no reason to doubt these colours but by way of a check can anyone advise which colour is most likely correct, "light" or "mid" Brunswick Green?" I though if anyone knew it was likely to be someone on this list. Can anyone help?

We used Bailey bridging panels. All panels were painted a green which I would describe as in the mid range. I have gone back over my colour slides & negs (recovered into my PC) all equipment green appears of the :medium colouring:. This assessment is a subjective one but I hope you gain some assistance. regards to all keven sparks earoberts@bigpond.com wrote: > Dear List, > Someone on another work related list I belong to is trying to find out the > correct colour to paint an Australian Army bridge they are restoring.
