Enamel paint Azure Blue (Blue-blue) ARCUS 368 MAP Azure Blue Guide:
-MAP Azure Blue or simply Azure was a light blue color with a magenta tint, designed primarily for use in the Mediterranean.
-Azure blue was used to paint the undersides of Royal Air Force aircraft in the Desert scheme. This camo used Dark Earth and Middle Stone for the upper surfaces. In this scheme, Azure Blue has replaced the lighter Sky Blue previously used.
-Azure blue was also used to paint the undersides of RAF Coastal Command aircraft operating in the -Mediterranean. These aircraft were usually painted in Dark Slate Gray and Extra Dark Sea Gray camouflage. However, there was a special scheme that used Dark Mediterranean Blue and Light Mediterranean Blue for upper surface camouflage.
-However, American-made aircraft delivered under Lend-Lease directly for combat operations in the Mediterranean could be painted with DuPont 71-062 Azure Blue, which was noticeably darker than the MAP shade and did not have such a pronounced purple hue
