According to the Profile Publication No. 39, for the Supermarine S4-S6B, it is the same color as the blue in the tri-color fin flash. If the number one for the fuselage on your decal sheet has a blue outline, that is the color to match. In addition, I have both the Frog and Airfix kits of this aircraft and one of them references Humbrol gloss Mediterranean Blue as the color to use.

If I ever get around to building one of these, I will take the decal sheet to the hobby shop and get the closest match and then lighten or darken it myself to achieve the best color match.

Migs,
I'm sure the plane was blue and silver - but what the closest match (FS number) would be escapes me.
I did a search on yahoo.com , "supermarine s6-b" and got 11 hits, most with photos, many in color, of current models. Maybe you can match the color from the photos - although the blue on the fuselage and floats looks like the same blue used on the blue/white/red tri-color tail.
Maybe someone else out there has more info.
