Looking for a color or equivalent for both Buff and Primrose (Primrose Yellow ?). I normally use lacquers, but any other type of paint will do. Thanks

Are you sure it's China Station you're modelling, and not East Indies Station? The buff didn't exist, China Station used grey, and it was East Indies Station that used primrose yellow on funnels and masts only:

To Sovereign Hobbies,

Thank you for the correction. I was not aware of the two region color differences. I am indeed asking for colors regarding the east Indies Station. You're writing regarding the specifics of the day at the two different regions was also extremely helpful as well. I do notice that Tamiya makes a BUFF color paint but I am still in the dark concerning the Primrose yellow color. Thank you

Ok so if it's East Indies Station, then I'd suggest NARN10 from White Ensign Models in California if you're in the USA?

If not, it should be available again soon. Primrose Yellow is a bit lighter and brighter than buff.
