Mountbatten pink

Mountbatten pink is a naval camouflage colour that resembles a greyish mauve.

It was named after Lord Mountbatten, who was a British Royal Navy officer during World War II.

He used this colour to paint his ships, believing that it would make them less visible during dawn and dusk.

However, this colour was not very effective, as it made the ships more conspicuous during midday.
