Could you please tell me the exact Natural Colour Scheme (NCS) paint colour code of the very light grey on the exterior of current London Underground tube trains? That's the colour on the exterior body between the blue band and the roof. (I have previously been advised that the colour is NCS S1502-Y50R, but that seems to be too white.) Thank you.
