| Most chandlers that stock them have colour charts. You'll not get reliable colour off the net unless your own PC is properly calibrated, which virtually none are. |

Granted but there are 2 blacks in the Blakes range and I expect the only way to tell the difference is to paint each half of the boat with each and take a look ------------- |

Based on personal experience, of having to strip off a "failed" coat of a 38 footer and having to do it all again I would now always go for Blakes (given the two you have to select between). It was not only the fact of having to strip it all off and start again (using Blakes 2nd time round), but the way I was treated by the manufacturer of the "failed" paint - they could not care less. 2nd time round having switched to Blakes went on no problems and have never used "the other" manufacturer again.
