This is my belief, which does not make it right, just what I believe. I think that color comparisons between the three ships (Olympic, Titanic, Brittanic) is possibly a waste because the Titanic, due to its short life, remained its original color. The Olympic was painted that wild Jimmy Hendrix multi-color during the war, and it is possible, regardless of how the photos are labeled, that pics of the Olympic with that white line may have been after the ship was returned to its "normal" colors after the war. Most of the Brittanic pics I have seen are when its White and green in its hospital mode. I still think the Titanic never had the line painted, that it is simply light reflection. They may have wanted to paint it, but it never happened. Just my opinion...
