Mountbatte­n Pink

ENGLAND

-

The murky mauve is a naval camouflage color at its most effective during dawn and dusk and first used by Lord Louis Mountbatte­n in the British Royal Navy during World War II. The color’s usefulness is controvers­ial, however, as ships may attract more attention with reddish shade. But if the surname Mountbatte­n sounds familiar, he was a distant relative of Prince Harry and Meghan Markle’s son, Archie Mountbatte­n-windsor.
