I'm building a Hawker Seafury in Korean war livery. The colour of the underside is descripted as "Sky". Usually I use Agamas B05M "Sky type S" which looks good on say Battle of Britain-fighters, but this color has a distinctive blueish/greenish tint that seems to mismatch with the post war color. (That looks more beige in color, closer to Testors #2049 / Model Master 4840)
Unfortunatly testors paint ranges is very difficult to get hold off for me, so if anyone have any suggestions to other ways to achieve this nuance I'd be greatful. (Mixing suggestions works).
Primarily I use Tamiya, Agama and Citadel paints.

As far as I know Humbrol 90 (beige green, formerly concrete colour) is normally suggested for post-war sky.
