Officially, there is no such color. Battleships, pickups, and
everything between, are painted ' Haze Gray '.

"Officially, there is no such color."

Nonsense.

Officially, I can go into a paint store and buy a can of paint whose
color is described as "Battleship Gray."

Here's a piece of floor covering in Battleship Gray:

Pettit, a well known supplier of marine paints, shows:

But, of course, there is no such color.

I have a hazy memory of two "official" greys used on Navy ships. One was
"deck grey" or something which was a different shade than the one used on
the hull.
