The employment of neutral color paints whose reflectivity is not greater than 23% for certain aircraft cockpit surfaces is not objectionable to pilots. The employment on these same surfaces of neutral color paints whose reflectivity is greater than 29% is objectionable to pilots. The use of higher reflective paints than the presently employed black for the windshield framing and the console surfaces is objectionable to most pilots. Blue or green colored cockpit surfaces approximately 22% reflective with .2 chroma are not as desirable for aircraft cockpit application as neutral color paints or lower chroma paints. The use of AN color no. 621, Dark Gull Gray, for single seat fighter type aircraft instrument panels, side bulkheads and floor areas is desirable. An improvement in instrument panel appearance and utility in daylight will result when the areas around the dial faces including instrument lighting fixtures, both the standard and the 'Post Lite' type, are gray-painted.
