Right luminous paste colour for tag heuer 2000 professional

[gkmaia]

My minute hand luminous paste has cracked and I got to buy some to reapply. But as I never used these pastes I am not sure what colour to chose.

Wondering if anyone have some experience with tag from this era and the probable colour they used.

My buying options are the ones in the link below.

I bought a cheap set of lume from AliExpress.  It's ok, a bit weak, but it does contain 4 colours that you can play with.

I've seen other people use white and then colour it with coffee or tea to age it.

I expect you'll have to do this a few times to get the right colour.

Superluminova c3, glow all night

Does it glow at all any more? That's a Tritium dial (and hands) and was originally light ivory, which will darken with age (and avoidance of sunlight).

If you were re-doing the minute hand, I'd do the hour hand as well. BUT, if you don't do the dial at the same time, what matches today, may not match tomorrow, because Tritium color changes.

My blue dial 9411 had extremely dark lume plots due to being out of the sun for decades. Once it got some UV from the sun, it began getting lighter.

I also happen to have an earlier (transitional) version of the 2000 chronograph I purchased in Salzburg, Austria (about a block from Mozart's house). It had a Heuer box, instruction sheet, case back and crown, but Tag Heuer on the dial. It's my back-burner project but since I have a spare complete movement I may tackle it after I get this Omega 565 behind me...
