The original book warns that its hatchings are neither consistent nor definite colours. Rosanoski therefore treats this reconstruction as uncertain: the funnel may be a lighter yellow than the adjacent Bulgarian merchant example, and blue is assumed for a band which appears not to be red. A black fish outline is difficult to distinguish against blue, leaving open whether the band or fish colour is misread; a white fish is only a theory.
This appears to be the standard Bulgarian merchant funnel with a black top added.
Jane’s describes the normal funnel as dark buff and notes that the insignia may be yellow. Rosanoski interprets that as a yellow body in O236 instead of white, rather than yellow replacing the black lines, but the source itself is in black-and-white hatching.
