Oh, we saw that on our Thames Walk the other week. We were wondering what that was about. My companion insisted it was graffiti art of some kind, I said it was Dazzle Ships. In a way we were both right.

This is effectively the opposite of dazzle ships, but one editorial test I took had me summarising Warpaint, a guide to acceptable paints for Royal Navy ships. A hauntingly & hypnotically dull document.

My uncle used to build boats for the US navy, and I remember looking through some of the paint catalogs showing paint chips and milspec numbers for like 9000 different shades of orange which all looked exactly the same to me. A particular boat might spec for, say, any of 4 of those numbers, and they'd have to find a supplier who did one of those 4. The other 8996 colors, which looked exactly the same, were unacceptable.

i hope there are bad procurement officers who just buy job lots of grey paint off ebay because it looks about right and it says it's weatherrproof.

Dazzle make-up.

Not dazzle, but this seems like a good thread for it.

Thought this revive was going to be about juggalos and members of KISS evading facial recognition.
