Thanks for the information, it is very helpful.

I used Cybermodelers paint color chart which uses old FS 595 C colors.
FS 16099 falls between 36081 Euro I Gray and 36118 Gunship Gray on the Federal Standard chart. Seems to split the difference between them on my copy of the 595a chip set, but tough to tell them apart.
I know a computer scree image of a cell phone photo doesn't capture color, but this honestly isn't much better in person:
Is this the guide you're using? https://media.defense.gov/2019/Jul/12/2002156408/-1/-1/0/1952_CG263_PAINT.PDF
I was looking for the same thing this week, by coincidence.

FS 16099 Coast Guard Deck Blue Gray is similiar to British Extra Dark Sea Gray.Hope that Helps.
Hello All,
As the subject line states, any suggestions for FS 16099 in enamel paint? This is described as USCG Blue Gray and is the deck color based on official USCG Coatings and Colors Manual. Humbrol, Revell, Colourcoats or even Testors MM suggestions would be helpful.
Thanks,
Felix
