French Napoleonic? Not sure I want to open that can of worms. Then again, this ain’t no TMP.

I’m not sure Andy knows what blue he’s after. Only that he’ll know it when he sees it.

Prussian Blue - Nap and FPW
French Blue - Same
Union Blue - still not 100% on the one.. Two... Four... I'm using...
I'll get there in the end...

Re: What's on your workbench?
I've got the Foundry French/Prussian blue triads, of which I'm not a big fan of for 15s, as there's nearly zero contrast between layers at that size.
I think the best system is the Andrea series, which is six tones, that you can then mix as needed to arrive at nearly any blue you might want. Bit fiddly, I know, but I keep coming back to it.

I am reminded of “D.R. & Quinch”s little knitted waistcoats for lobsters.

Wasn't union blue just indigo, like French blue?

Yes, but a crappy less colour fast version.
