I’ve been a bit of research on what colors are used in the A320 cockpit. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Let me preface by saying that yes… these colors may not be exact but I can say for certain that they are pretty dang close.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

There are 2 colors in the cockpit, the grey that can be found on the MIP, the pedestal, the overhead, and all the breaker panels. And a blue that can be found on the sidewalls of the pedestal and on the sidestick housings.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The grey used is RAL 7031 (#6B767B)<\/strong>. Using the site: https:\/\/www.easyrgb.com\/<\/a> I was able to find close matches found in normal house paint collections. I decided to try Whale Gray (N470-60) from Behr which can be bought at Home Depot. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

As you can see it’s a pretty close match but I would like to get even better. Not to mention having to roll paint onto my custom panels is not exactly Ideal.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

\n

The blue used is RAL 5017 (#136398)<\/strong>. The closest match in the Behr collection I could find is Cosmic Cobalt (P500-7D)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Again not a perfect match so on to my proposed solution…<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

I came across https:\/\/www.myperfectcolor.com\/RAL-Paint-Colors\/148.htm<\/a> which lets you enter RAL color codes and order custom mixed spraypaint cans! Which I’m thinking would look way better than rolled on house paint. Not to mention easier and quicker. Once I order some and get a chance to test the results I’ll be sure to post my findings.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Just a quick note about the finish. On the actual panel I own it is definitely a matte or satin finish. I’ll be comparing that once I custom order my paint batch.<\/p>\n
