Found something that might add to this thread while looking for ship plans:
This is Dutch ship "Java", from NV Stoomvaart Maatschappij 'Nederland' - photos are from 1939 (peacetime colors) and in unspecified time during the war: https://www.marhisdata.nl/image.php?...edf23f5f&opt=5 https://www.marhisdata.nl/image.php?...18165bfb&opt=5 From their posters, funnel colors should be black top, yellow bottom. What is visible here is that while ship was entirely painted grey, funnel is still in two different colors, with separation line between them matching pre-war one (possibly different shades of gray?) Edit: BTW, was there any documented case of ships belonging to neutral countries sailing camouflaged and darkened? It would be helpful to know this for implementing proper colors in SH5, because clones keep "borrowing" textures from their parent ships, leaving modder a choice between having some camouflaged neutrals in convoy or lots of uncamouflaged combatants with navlights on. The former situation would be of course preferable, but was there any such case in real life? |

I would bet on British nationality because of the white spot on the tail, but not a certainty. |

As for camouflaged neutral merchants, I can't neither confirm nor discard them, but I think the best "camouflage" for neutral vessels would have been displaying their national flag and neutral markings as clearly as possible. This is so true that they retained those marking even when sailing within Allied convoys. See the convoy sketches posted by iambecomelife in this thread for an example of that. Quote:

That's why I think it's a British Maryland:
