From memory of discussions from years ago:
507C from 1945 to 1957
Light Admiralty Grey (bluish tinge) from 1957 to 1964
Light Admiralty Grey (greenish tinge) from 1964 to about 1968. This was not popular and quickly disappeared.
Light Weatherworks Grey from 1968

My understanding from different postings here in the past is that
- 507 C was used for some time after WW II as overall grey,
- this changed to Light Admiralty Grey, which was a duck egg blue (actually a greenish tone), in the 1960s,
- while from 1966 (or 1969?) Light Weatherworrks Grey, which has a slight blueish hue, came into use.
Is this still valid or did researches in the last years reveal different information?
