H.M.S. York color

Modeling Subjects Ships

So I just picked up Dragon’s 1/700 H.M.S. York (Type 42 batch 3). I’ve been using White Ensign Model’s paints for the Sovremenny-class and have been thoroughly impressed. So my question is, does anyone familiar with WEM have any suggestions as to which paint to use for the ship? The instructions say to paint it “grayish blue”/Mr. Colour 337. I suppose nothing’s really stopping me from just getting the Mr. Colour, but I guess since WEM hasn’t done me wrong yet I’d like to see if I can get this “grayish blue” from them. Any help from the experts is much appreciated!

I’ll lay you odds that Dragon doesn’t know what colo(u)r the York is.

Since you already have used WEM paints, why not use WEM’s Modern RN Light Gray (#M01) with RN Deck Gray (#M02)
