Thats a million dollar question.

An on-line colour picker can determine the colour code of software, I have picked the FCU of 3 companies and got this:

CP Flight = RGB 48, 66, 80
FDS = RGB 141, 146, 149
COCKPITSONIC = RGB 57, 80, 98 TO 48, 67, 84

Hi,

A long time ago I read somewhere that the colours for Airbus should be RAL 5017 (German name Verkehrsblau) for the structure, and RAL 5014 (Taubenblau) for the panels. If I remember well, that is the colour Hispapanels are using.

(Sorry, don't know the RGB values for these; but a RAL table is available somewhere on the Internet...)

That's great, I can convert these to RGB for you now!

Hey Spiro,

I would not get too hung up over the colour, the thing with airbus is that they changed the entire colour of the flightdeck, i dont know exactly when, the older a320 like the original winglet-less -100 series ones were a lighter blue colour, when the A330 and A340 came into service there decks were a much darker colour and the A320 followed soon after.

Have a look at any pic on jetphotos.net and instantly you will see how the FCU/EFIS is a darker colour than the glare wings.

Below is a pic to highlite the difference, the panel on the left is the flight deck door lock panel made in 2004 from a -200 aircraft, the panel on the right is a glare wing panel from an original -100 series aircraft



I also hear RAL7031 is a close match, Alex if you can do the honour of converting it, but i have not tried this myself

Phil.....Just off the question a bit I know, but are you going to start producing any A320 panels for the simvionics website?

Kind Regards.

Hmm, that looks like the one on the left for me, so RAL7031 for newer aircraft and RAL5014 for the older aircraft

That is excellent news, now the other sim part manufacturers really have something to worry about!

You must admit there is a massive market now for the A320, its VERY popular....very 2010 i'm thinking.....
