Sealink ferrys Ailsa Princess / Antrim Princess looking for British rail blue colour

Hi, I am looking for photos of the above ferrys, anything profile, on deck shots. As I want to build a model of these ships depending on the information I pick up.
Also does anyone know the blue hull colour, i.e. RAL, BS. paint code number as its an unusual blue colour.


original British Rail colours, I believe that the hull colour blue was the same as that used on rolling stock when the carriages were blue with grey uppers or all blue

I think they used the british rail blue colour

Two manufacturer's produce BR Rail Blue, Railmatch and Precision. From my memories of the Isle of Wight Ferries it weathered very quickly.
