Ghost Gray Custom Decal color question


Recommended Posts

Gents: I would like to create some custom-made decals in light ghost gray (FS36375) for the Italeri 1/32 F-35A.  I already have the squadron badge and tail art done as a vector image, and I am planning to use a third-party decal printing service since I figured out that it will be cheaper that buying a new color printer.  One of them wrote that I need to send the CMYK color code to properly print the decal, other told me that he needs the Pantone code. I have done some web searches but the only color code I was able to find for the LGG is the RGB Hex Code(9598A1).

Do these color codes exists (or an approximate) for Light Ghost Gray? Any help will be greatly appreciated.

Merci.

The RGB hex is useless, it's for computer screens, not print.

 

For prints, you need CMYK or the pantone code.
