Just FYI, but color 334 is "Barley" grey, not Barry. (it's a British color, so you never know...)

...

And thus, when the Japanese try to translate US govt colors, the subtlety in the meaning of "intermediate" vs "medium" is often lost--especially when trying to translate the Gunze translation back to English! (It doesn't help that the govt itself named a blue as "grey"...)

Thanks for looking at the list and pointing out the mistakes David, I corrected the "Barry" part already. And Thank You for explaining as well what is the cause for this confusion in the colors

Annoyingly, I just now found a fully-translated color guide for Grace's:

(at least I can take a small amount of pride in that they mis-translated gull grey as dull grey)

When I translated this I was in the stage where I was thinking, gull grey??? gull grey??? what the heck is gull grey??? don't they mean dull grey???

That's why when I translated the Mr. Color Chart I put both Gull Grey and Dull grey for the translation of Mr. Color C11 and the dull grey just kinda stuck whenever I translated color charts.

but yeah, I should be more objective than subjective when translating and really stick to using Gull Grey.

sorry for the shameless self promotion, but I posted a translated vf-27 manual a few days ago. Just incase anybody will find it useful during their build.

Does anyone know what the proper mixture for the gunpod color is supposed to be? The manual says:

85% purple

10% bubble

5% dark blue

What the hell is bubble??

Not sure, but I think its 85% violet, 10% purple and 5% dark blue. I'm confused too as to whether the translation of sumire-iro in japanese means violet the color or something else.

basing my answer from this color chart
