When our 'hemp' VC10Ks were repainted in grey, it was referred to not as 'Barley' grey, but as 'John Major' grey - he was PM at the time.
The first grey jet came back with a pansy wedgwood 'blue vein' cheat line and white lettering - very camp. Fortunately that was short lived and the cheat line and lettering were soon repainted in contrasting grey.
