Hi, @Onkel Neal, yes, you may use the pic for reference. I would be flattered, BUT...

I updated and linked another the image to be certain there is no halogen contamination in it: https://www.dropbox.com/s/bzuwfao7xl90zb7/Color%20Temp%202.jpg?dl=0
Also, some larger searchlights have xeon in it. I think that that is not one of those.

Of course, the following colors would have their intensity all the way up, but...

The arc color-coordinates: #b2c8d9 or r178, g200, b217
The searchlight color from: https://www.britannica.com/technology/searchlight-lighting

The incandescent color-coordinates: #fcf2ca or r252, g242, b202
Incandescent color from: http://s3-origin-images.politico.com...ulb_ap_328.jpg

I was really impressed seeing Wolfpack's search lights and head-on glare affects, so much so, it got me thinking about this last little detail.

Other than the brightest lights likely be the arc lights, the designer's discretion to fit them to the ship. In the mock-up, I tended to keep the saturation fairly low. The aim was not to mock up colored lighting, but to show light of different color temperature. The GPU and game-engine color gamut/gradent would have to be considered.

I don't know if in wartime, if they ran the traditional red/green navigation lights? Surely, they would go off id they were under attack. I might research that. So, far I found this color Liberty ship launch, which showed running lights, but no evidence of colored navigation lights.

[The mock-up was done in Photoshop, by eye-dropping the colors, and using a color layer.]

The blue arc-lights would look pretty with red-yellow explosions : )
