Default FAA Hurricane colors?

I recently threw together a skin for Sea hurricanes.
But the more i looked at it the more the colors just didnt look right.
I have changed them using a different RAF color chart, and I think Im closer, but still not sure.
What do you think?
This:



Or this?



Personally Im leaning toward the second one. The Sky looks closer to pics Ive seen of flying Hurricanes, and the top colors seem to be a bit more subdued, more natural almost.

So which one is closest?

Im not so sure.
I wish there was a standardized reference for colors, but alas...
For sure the Sky color for the underside is closer to accurate, so I have top assume that the others are too.
Would still love to hear more informed opinions.

Hi CWMV
For accurate Colour Swatches go to SimmersPaintShop[link below].
This list is for U.K Aircraft Colours.
Look at box to the right of the colours called "Usage" and this will tell what this colour was used for.
There are a few FAA Colours listed so this may help.
To import into Gimp or Photoshop either use Colour picker or
what I do is highlight and Copy the "Hex" value [to the left of colour] and
Paste into "HTML_notation" Box in the Paint Toolbox of Gimp[or similar in Photoshop]
