Is there any evidence that would indicate a systematic approach - e.g. Mediterranean fleet, Atlantic Seaboard,etc? Maybe even dockyard of construction?
(I see from some old postcards that light cruisers on tropical stations were white overall.)
However the available photos of Jeanne d'Arc are all black and white showing either the later overall light grey (very uninteresting) or the earlier black hull with light coloured upperworks, but of an indistinguishable colour. Models and drawings abound in either grey or buff. Opinion seems to be divided.
