Hi Les,
You are right on the button with that; unfortunately all of this stuff is subject to individual interpretation and you have to have a starting point.
This plane will never be a contest plane... I will over time add details here and there to dress it up a bit and keep it interesting. Getting the
exact spinner color was not really my goal on this one; I just wanted to get close enough to make me happy with the look of it

Two things to remember about published colors. Printed colors do not accurately reproduce the oil/dope/pigment because printers ink is not the same.
Color chips, if actually painted, have the same problem as real paint; they oxidize, and change color over time.
