Result!!
You do not know how opportune this posting is for me Jason. I have recently convinced David Hannant to produce the Caunter scheme in Xtracolor. I know it is oil based enamels but it will be a perfect match for
Silver grey
Light Stone and
Slate
The Blue is one of those mistakes which has been repeated in perpetuity and does not actually feature on the scheme. Mike Starmer has done some superb reasearch on the subject and I suggest searching out his article on "Bellman" and it's Caunter scheme.
All of these colours come from a wartime document I have seen which was passed onto me by Peter Brown, after I asked him about it recently. The colours will be available in a few weeks time and if you feel like giving Xtracolor a go I suggest using them. If not then you could use the tins to match an equivalent acrylic match.
Hope this helps,

Jay
