To my knowledge these numbers can be given to your local paint supplier and he can mixup a batch. I used this same guide to get sea blue for my panther, gave them the fed std595B and munsell info.

Those numbering look very confuse is there a more easy way to get the right colours paint? example from those Tamiya colour spray Dark Ghost Gray FS 36320 & Light Ghost Gray FS 36375 I used it on my model Hornet but they look a bit more on the light smoke blue colour is this the correct colour to used please advice tks.

Your using USAF colors thats why their off . If you have access to Testors model masters paint use those sprayed on card stock and give it to your supplier

HI! Joe,

I check Testors model masters paint, the colours code numbers are the same as mention Dark Ghost Gray FS 36320 & Light Ghost Gray FS 36375 on their colour card I think should be right. So far I haven't not check with PPG yet maybe will give a more firm answer from both matching number colour.
