You have raised a fascinating topic, FJ. Pink (PRU pink,) was used for some of the high speed photo reconnaissance aircraft late in the War, and pink shades were also used in some schemes applied to ships. Peter Scott, who served in Coastal Forces, also devised camouflage schemes using natural colours and schemes that he was familiar with from his bird watching studies as an ornithologist. In all the articles and chapters I have read, I never saw Mountbatten's name mentioned in relation to any colour.
