So I am working on a project and need the exact colors used in the liveries of these airlines from the 1960s.

Pan Am and TWA

If you could give a pantone or RBG that would be great.

Thanks

For Pan Am, there was never any sort of standard... the liveries were different from plane to plane mostly because they were painted in different paint facilities with different paints. They were all approximations. If you care, PanAmBrands.com publishes a style guide

For TWA, Pantone 186 should be as close as you can get. They also never really had a guide or standard.

Thanks I was just looking for an approximation.
