What’s the correct paint color for the S-3B Viking “NAVY 1”?

I’ve been working on a model of the S-3B Viking that served as “NAVY 1” and I’ve run into some confusion about the right color to use. I’ve seen three different FS numbers mentioned in forums and online references — 36375, 36327, and 36440 — and each seems to be cited by different sources. Some photos make it look more like a cool gray, others like a warmer tone. Does anyone here know for sure which one is the most accurate for the aircraft as it appeared in 2003?

Yeah, it’s confusing—lighting and aging really throw off color perception. FS 36375 seems to be the most reliable match based on 2003 appearance and expert consensus.
