Apparently the tests showed the Blue Grey was by far the most effective, but the then Chief of Navy was reported to have said that the RAN would not be painting their ships blue on his watch and killed it.
Having repeatedly watched Fremantle sail in and out of Sydney Harbour in Grey Blue I can attest that it was FAR harder to see than Storm Grey or Haze Grey.
