Sailing vessels do not exchange whistle signals.
If your Boat is moving, that motion must be taken into account in determining the actual wind sailing. What you measure or estimate (except when using the Beaufort wind sailing Scale) is termed apparent wind sailing; the vessel's speed and heading must be considered to determine true wind sailing.
On The Other Hand See American Sailing Association Sample Tests:Pigments. The majority of first class painters prepare their own colors from pigments furnished by a reputable manufacturer. If the finished color is to be light in value, the pigments are slowly added to the mixture of the base and binder with constant tests and color comparisons with the desired sample. Colors have a tendency to dry to a slightly different hue than when wet, so that if an exact match is required, it is necessary to permit the sample to dry until the gloss has been eliminated. If dark colors are to be mixed, it may be necessary to add a great deal of pigment, so that usually it is better to start with a ready-mixed paint that is close to the color desired, and to which additional pigments may be added. The following palette will be found sufficient for most types of work.
