I've dug a little deeper into this, and found the following from Wikipedia:
"During World War II, Scott served in the navy, emulating his father. He was in the "little ships" against German E-boats. He is also partly credited with designing 'shadow camouflage', which disguised the look of ship superstructure."
There is also this long article, detailing Scott's theories
http://www.shipcamouflage.com/3_3.htmFrom the above, there appear to be two "Scott" schemes and "Mountbatten Pink":
PETER SCOTT TYPE Unofficial in origin.
Worn by destroyer BROKE during latter part of 1940. Later worn by a few Flower class corvettes during the first part of 194l. Used by small numbers of Coastal Forces craft during 1941 and 1942. Which actual ships used it is not known.
Colors used: light blue, light green, 507C, and white.
Decks: believed as peacetime practice - may have varied between ships.
Masts and topmasts: White.
Athwartship vertical surfaces: Same as 1942 Western Approaches type.
Countershading: As l942 Western Approaches type.
MODIFIED PETER SCOTT TYPE Semi-official in origin.
Used from around mid 1941 to mid 1942. Worn by all types of vessels from corvette size up to and including destroyers.
Colors used: 507A, dark blue, white, and sometimes MS 1.
Decks: As peacetime practice.
Masts and topmasts: White.
Athwartship vertical surfaces: Same color as adjacent surface.
Countershading: No information available.
MOUNTBATTEN PINK TYPE Unofficial in origin.
Believed used by several ships from cruiser size down during 1940, 1941, and 1942,
Colors used: Mountbatten Pink (dark), Mountbatten Pink (light).
Decks: As peacetime practice.
Topmasts: White. Athwartship vertical surfaces: Mountbatten Pink.
Countershading: No evidence that countershading was used.
Which rather disproves what the museum caption claims. Pity, I was hoping that Mountbatten, a man for who I have little regard, would have been shown to have pinched his idea from Peter Scott!
