| Austria-Hungary | Pre1914 | kuk Marine | Bis 1900/1902 Victorian Style: schwarzer Rumpf, weiße Aufbauten, gelbe Schornsteine 1902-1913 'Montecoccolin': Olivgrün über alles. Die Farbe wurde für alle sichtbaren Teile des Schiffs verwendet: Rumpf, Stahldecks, Masten, Brücken, Aufbauten, Dampf- und Motorbarkassen und Segel. Die großen Beiboote wurden innen mit einem dunkelgrün gestrichen, die kleinen Beiboote waren innen weiß. Anker und Ketten waren aus blankem Stahl, der mit Leinöl geschützt wurde. Die Rettungsringe waren bis 1910 weiß, danach weiß-rot-weiß.

Unlike the rest of the upperworks and funnels, the ventilators, gun barrels and masts were commonly painted black like the hull. Turret tops seemed to be dark grey. Wartime: Reported by Jane's as being Sea Green. The best combination for this seems to be a 1:1 mixture of Medium Sea Grey (870) and Grey Green (866), although straight Grey Green also works while giving a greener but darker appearance. | |

| France | time(1885-1905) | Frankreich | War Times Journal http://www.wtj.com/store/index_paint_guide_hist-paint.html(1164): Peacetime: Hull is black with upperworks and funnels either silver grey (883) or ochre (913). Boundaries between hull and upperworks colors tended to vary widely, some placed very high on the ship at spar deck edge, and some lower at main deck edge.. Best to find photos of actual ships. Wartime: Unknown, probably a Dark Sea Grey (991) or Medium Sea Grey (870) all over. Some sources quote French ships having a distinctly greenish grey, which is supported by some builder's models still in existence. | |
| France | WW2 | Frankreich Marine wk2 | Zitat Antwort Aryeh Wetherhorn: the Atlantic raiding squadron used a darker shade of grey, and reverted to grey number 1 (the French designation for light grey) after the armistice. Decks were wood. Recognition and heraldry marks were also very interesting. Tricolors were painted on turrets and gun shields, always with blue towards the bow. Most ships carried the tricolor on turrets B and X, but the 2 cruisers in the Far East painted it on all 4 turrets. Destroyers followed the same system,but there were variations. The torpedo boat division in Bizerte painted stripes on the forecastle similar to those used by the Italian fleet. Destroyer hull numbers were built around a division number (e.g. X!0 or T5) with the addition of a sequence number based on the seniority of the captain within each division. The hull numbers were red, but each division also carried colored bands on a funnel according to the division number. Cruisers also used funnel bands to indicate their position within each cruiser division. The senior ship usually had no bands, but the next two carried one or two bands, again, according to seniority. The colors of the bands were standard. Cruiser division 1 used white, 2 black, 3 yellow. 4 green and 5 red. Destroyers had more division and so they also used blue, and had one or two bands depending upon division numbers. Some ships also put a tricolor on the sides of a deckhouse. A few submarines painted a tricolor on the sail (conning tower) and one carried the tricolor across the saddle tanks down to the waterline.

| GB | time(1885-1905) | GB | War Times Journal http://www.wtj.com/store/index_paint_guide_hist-paint.html(1164): Peacetime: Black hull with white upperworks and turrets and ochre funnels and masts. Great Britain appears to have adopted overall grey peacetime colors very early (maybe by 1903 or so). The black hull often had a narrow white band just below its upper edge, all the way around the ship. Sometimes (rarely, seen once on HMS Nile) the black was carried up onto the upperworks as high as the edge of the spar deck, making the turrets black instead of white. Ships on tropical station would usually have white hull with white or ochre upperworks and ochre funnels. Wartime: Dark Sea Grey (991) all over (except maybe lifeboats, which can still be painted white with brown wash on top). | |
| GB | WWI | GB Destroyer | May 6, 1915 Destroyers were to be painted dead black. On June 4, 1915 Destroyers to remain dead black but masts to become a very light grey. On July 7, 1916 all torpedo craft hitherto black to be painted grey. Hull 1 part black to 20 parts white (by weight), upper works to use mixture 1 part black to 23 parts white.(1166) | |

| Germany | Pre1914 WWI | SMS Emden | Zitat von Facebook Joseph Lavender 17.07.2022 in der privaten Gruppe Warships of WW1: Emden, a bit of a specialty of mine. The bow and stern decks, as well as the deck above the bridge, the bridge wings, exposed stair treads, flying deck, the deck where the funnels and the compass platform were linoleum, held down with 2inch brass tack strips. The searchlight platforms were bare steel with tread painted dark grey. The main deck was planked with teak. Also the deck below the guns on the extreme ends were teak. Since the two ships, Emden and Dresden used different propulsion plants, the deck arrangement on Dresden was different from Emden. The coaling chutes are in different positions on both ships, and Dresden has a slightly different steam pipe arrangement on the funnels. The spare propeller blades were carried on the main deck for both ships. After the declaration of war was received, most flammable items were chucked over the side. The crew followed the orders a little too literally, however, and all of the officer’s wardroom furniture was chucked, including their wood chairs. This was a bit of an issue because the officers had nowhere to sit. It was noted that next time, a little more common sense should be exercised. However, the linoleum and wood decks remain in place. As for paint schemes, it’s often assumed she was painted in the white and buff colonial service scheme, but that was LONG gone by 1914. In fact the the buff scheme was ordered to be painted out in May 1910, being replaced with Scheme 9, the two tone grey scheme. It is believed by some that Emden was painted in a single tone scheme prior to the raiding mission. Both Mücke and Müller mention a repainting but sadly they don’t state if they used the scheme 9 standard, or something monotone in order to pass as a Royal Navy ship as she did later on. It’s a little confusing, and photos of the wreck are no help.(1698) |  |
| Germany | time(1885-1905) | Deutsch | War Times Journal http://www.wtj.com/store/index_paint_guide_hist-paint.html(1164): Peacetime: In European waters the hull can be one of several possible schemes: Medium Sea Grey hull (870) with Silver Grey upperworks (883), or silver grey all over. Also, Silver Grey hull with White upperworks would be another possibility. Other variations seem to have included white turrets (on the Brandenburgs) and dark grey turret tops on the newer battleships. For tropical service cruisers would have their hulls white with upperworks painted Ochre (913). Unknown how their battleships were painted for tropical service, which would apply only to the Brandenburgs. Wartime: Unknown, probably Silver Grey (883) all over, which is what we use. An extra note on German battleships, aerial photos indicate that their decks were noticeable darker, so a medium brown or tan-earth would probably be more accurate than using the light deck tan typical on other ships. | |

The transition between black and white could be along the edge of the main deck, or sometimes down the middle of the amidships bulwarks/casemates. The funnels and masts were commonly painted ochre, and in some cases - such as vessels like Italia or Andrea Doria - the lower half of the funnels would be white and the upper half would be ochre. In vessels with superheavy guns, the gun barrels were sometimes painted black or dark grey. Wartime: Unknown, probably Dark Sea Grey (991) all over. | |

The boundary between the white and ochre was different in different ships, and often passed horizontally across major features, especially gun turrets. So that the top half of a turret might be painted ochre and the bottom half painted white, especially in the lower aft turrets. Gun barrels often painted black. During war time they were painted Medium Sea Grey (870) all over (except maybe lifeboats, which can still be painted white with brown wash on top). | |

| United States of America | time(1918) | US Destroyers 1918 | On my question after the colour of US Destroyers end of WWI (specifically USS Allen DD-66), Aryeh Wetherhorn answered: This pattern, or close variants of it, was used on several US destroyers. Early admiralty designs for US destroyers used a variety of colors, including pink, mauve, buff, yellow, and others. The US adaptation of this design called for only Black, White, #3 Blue, and #2 Blue-grey. Later Admiralty designs often followed the US choice of colors. There appears to have been good communication between the offices on opposite sides of the Atlantic. The British objected to pure white, and the Americans then substituted a toned down color called Grey-White. At the same time, the Admiralty dropped some of their brighter colors in favor of the the American basic 4 color palette. but that, too was subject occasional, or even frequent, additions or substitutions. I think you could use the basic US colors without feeling you were going too far afield. | |

California MS-1 no question. Nevada painting out of MS-1/5 as time allows. Maryland MS-12 pattern in old colors, 5-D hull, older very dark 5-O upperworks, 5-L tops. Oklahoma unknown for attack day but had been in MS-1/5 as late as October 1941. Tennessee probably MS-1A substituting 5-S for 5-D, painted by Ships Force with no 5-H interlayer. West Virginia painting out of MS-1, hull was 5-D, upperworks a patchwork of colors consistent with fleet order allowing vessel COs to use the newer paints in various combinations on the upperworks until the next yard period. When raised she does show zinc chromate and red lead patches, again in compliance with fleet orders to only use ZC and red lead for corrosion control until repairs completed in drydock. Pennsylvania probably MS-1. Arizona one high quality B&W film shot the afternoon of Dec. 7 show her aft turrets and hull to be too light for 5-D, this film starts at AZ's stern and continues down the battleline to CA, shot from a small boat, 35mm. One snippet of color film shot from a small boat within a day or two of the attacks shows her aft turrets and hull to be blue. I am not hazarding a guess as to which blue as it is light enough to be the darkest 5-S on the Snyder & Short chip set but could also be 5-N. Fleet orders to be aware of for the time period: For graded schemes defined in SHIPS-2 Rev.1 5-L to be used in lieu of 5-H for light structures and pole masts until stocks depleted or sufficient 5-H available. When repainting from darker schemes such as MS-1 or MS-4 YARD FORCE must use 5-H interlayer to prevent bleed through of darker paints. SHIPS FORCE not required to use 5-H interlayer, COs discretion depending on stocks available. Modified MS-2 called for hulls to remain 5-D (previous fleet order to ships to retain only enough 5-D for one complete repaint of the HULL only) with the upperworks to be repainted as needed into the new colors at the CO's discretion. All ships sitting on the bottom to only use zinc chromate or red lead for corrosion control purposes until raised and repaired in drydock. Use of camouflage paints specifically forbidden.
