I have a high quality print of the photo showing the camouflage. If you mask the black shadow line outlining the number I think you will find that the number is in fact the same colour as the hull colour, a visual illusion. However , if you still feel that the number is lighter, be aware that hull colour while being white, was an off-white, ie, different from bright white.

: I have been repainting, or checking,
: camouflage on my RN models over the past
: year. Today I noticed that HMS Legion
: appears in RN Camo vol 1 page 23 with colors
: indicated as Black, White, and 507A. A
: photograph of this ship in this pattern is
: in the IWM collection (FL12005) and shows a
: white pennant number. The number is clearly
: lighter than the background. Is the book in
: error and the light color is 507C, not
: White?
