      I always thought that pal decals were predominantly Gold with red writing but I found a tank with a black decal and red writing, how many different pal decals were there? 🙄

            I believe there were three:
            1937 – Blue and yellow
            1938- Blue and red
            1939-41 -Gold

                  I have always thought that I had a black and yellow decal on my PAL model 4203
                  I have learned something again today.
                  a very, very, very dark blue I understand now

                    Tubs, I wish I knew half of what you forgotten about outboards.
                    You are still the master in my book.
                    I have been reading (and learning ) from your posts for years.
                    The only reason I knew this one, is that I am working right now on 37 Pal, and did a bunch of Internet research as the "traditional" gold one wasn’t showing up in all of the pictures.
                    By the way Dixie from oldoutboarddecals has all three version.

                        Yea Tubs , Pantone #,s are your friends!
                        Another variable that raises its ugly head in this mess, is the reaction of the original decals to years of gas exposure. I have seen, and have a bunch of Elto decals from the late thirties where the gold background turned green.
                        Tough to nail down exact shades without finding a pristine museum sample.
