Anyway, according to this picture RAF Seagulls were brown, and since, if memory serves, the FAA were under RAF control at the time it seems logical that their Seagulls should also be brown.
All the colour pictures I've seen of the Seagull shows it in brown, and the B/W pictures shows it as a dark colour of some sort.
The picture you posted is the artwork on a box of the aircraft model, but it seems to be the same aircraft, that I, myself, posted earlier on this thread :oops: , so I believe you're right about the color. Also you're right about the FAA being part of the RAF, that being the reason it was called Fleet Air Arm in the first place :)

An excellent drawing of a very interesting design :) , and bears comparison with HMAS Albatross, as a later ship for the same general role.

High praise that. Though I have to admit that it's a beauty compared to the Albatross. (The ship, not the drawing)
