I found one. " IPMS Color Cross-Reference Guide" by David H. Klaus. Meteor Productions. First printing March 1988. I have the eighth printing Sept 1993. Most of the book is comparing different plastic paint brands and the different countries systems, such as FS 595a/BS 381C/Methuen/RAL/AS 2700. There are tables of most countries giving # & name and comparing to FS #, Example: RLM 03 silbergrau (Silver Gray). 37200 Early overall finish, later replaced by RLM 63. RLM63 Lichtgrau (Light Gray). 38373 close match but add a bit of white. Mostly useful for pl****c modelers.
In the section for scale effect he adds 7% white for 1/32nd, 10% for 1/48th, 15% for 1/72nd and 23% white for 1/144th. Think of a photo of the Blue Ridge Mountains.
Somewhere I've seen that you don't use white for everything , maybe the Cyan Magenta Yellow Black color wheel and pick the color #s and reduce the saturation by about the %'s listed above. Any of you guys tried using white for everything or really light blue (or yellow for planes at LAX)? This could get really complicated.
