Squadron Heavy Crusiers vol one is a great reference. It, however does not specify deck colors. Most capital ships during the later part of the war used deck blue

Hi,

It depends on what time period you’re modelling. When she was in Measure 31 dazzle camouflage, her decks were in a pattern using 5-O Ocean Gray and Deck Blue 20-B. As lost, in Measure 22 camouflage, her decks were Deck Blue 20-B overall.

These colors are available in White Ensign Models’ Colourcoats enamels:

US10, Deck Blue 20-B;
US06, 5-O Ocean Gray.
