Question

Where can a researcher find HMS Sheffield's colour scheme for May 1941?

Short answer

Check the camouflage references, then a Town-class book and contemporary Force H photo archives for ship-specific visual evidence.

Notes

The question seeks the colour scheme carried by HMS Sheffield in May 1941. The dedicated camouflage books are the first place to look. If they do not answer it, a Town-class reference may offer more ship-specific detail. The Force H photographic archive also contains contemporary images of Sheffield that can provide direct visual evidence.
