Who's never been frustrated translating a Gundam manual just to get the right colors?
Although they have shared color names like white (ho-wa-i-to),grey (gu-re), blue (bu-ru) and sometimes green (gu-ri-n)
But then comes cobalt blue and neutral grey... which in most cases becomes baffling to figure out. You will probably have to figure out how to combine colors using Tamiya or Mr. Hobby, or wait for a specific set of paints/markers of Mr. Hobby's Gundam Colors/Markers.
Realizing this I found this link that lists some of the Gundams available and their color guides based on the manuals. Special thanks to Mech 9's Blog for this...

Here's the Mr. Color "ahem" color guide:

You can contact him if you don't see the color guide of your specific Gundam in the list; you will just have to scan or direct a scan of the color guide you want translated.
