2 unusual facts about Photographic grey


Photographic grey

The White Star Line's third Olympic class ocean liner, the Britannic was painted photographic grey during her construction and for her launch.

Locomotives were painted in colour schemes that would grab the attention of those seeing them in colour photographs and in films, which led to brightly coloured prototype diesel locomotives in the 1950s and 1960s such as the British Rail DP1 and HS 4000 'Kestrel'.
