Humbrol Colour for WWI British HE Yellow?

Hi,

I picked up a keenly priced but indifferently restored 18pdr HE shell at Stoneleigh and am currently working on repainting it. Two 'off the shelf' options for the body colour would appear to be Humbrol No.24 'Trainer Yellow' and No.154 'Insignia Yellow'. Which of the two has a more ochre / mustard tone to it? I'd be interested to know what others think.

Thanks,
Mark
