Delfin's sister ship, Torsk, was blue before her new owner painted her white. Not sure why he did. I have been trying to learn how to blend Awlgrip repairs with an airbrush, 2000 grit wet/dry and polishing compounds and one thing I have learned is that it is a whole lot easier to make the repair invisible with light colors than dark. So, I'm not sure I would go the dark hull route, even thought I agree they are darned purty.
Here's a picture of Torsk in blue, and now in white (in Montenegro), as well as Ulysses on the cover of Sea magazine. Ulysses (then called Viking) was the first Romsdal in this class, but was 3' shorter. Torsk and Delfin are the remaining hulls in the series. The new owner of Torsk removed the mizzen mast, for reasons unknown, but I think she needs that mast for visual balance.
