Now her original color
Admiral Lord Nelson’s famed flagship HMS Victory has raised eyebrows after being restored to its original colour - a shade some people say is pink.
The new colour has split opinion, with experts at the National Museum of the Royal Navy admitting that the change had met with resistance from those who preferred the old mustard-orange shade.
Conservationists examined 72 layers of paint from an original timber part under a microscope, and discovered the ship Nelson sailed to Trafalgar was actually a terracotta or pink hue.
A spokesman for the museum said that although the majority of the response had been positive, some people had been averse to the change.
“With historic ships they are close to a lot of people’s hearts and people have very clear ideas of what they like and they don’t like, but we were really determined to use historically accurate research,”she said.
The official name for the colour avoids the word pink, instead opting for ‘Victory Hull Ochre’.
