Viking, not all of those magazine type publications are accurate nor are they all right in color selection. Many 410 profiles from a certain publication are in fact completely inaccurate and false. So I wouldn't get so defensive if I were you. You really need the peer review part of posting skins to help such issues (color corrections, etc). Even if you're an experienced skinner, you can still make mistakes.
You're acting very defensive on it and I don't think you need to. Overall from what I've seen on those Northern camo patterns I'd say shades of grey are almost certain to be used rather than blue. Greys can have shades/tints from the red/brown range over to the blue/white range. I think the VVS colors in question were more paler than the vibrant blue you chose.
It's one thing to say "I won't resubmit it but if I do I'll add this to the list" and it's another to say "I'm never going to change anything and am right, period" -- and I think you seem to be taking the latter stance.
I would say please keep an open mind and that anybody can be wrong. If you post progress shots these things can be discussed and weighed before you are done and before the submission process. The entire posting-of-progress method allows for these things to come up naturally without any hurt feelings and a number of bad, inaccurate, or just plain wrong skins snuck their way into the game by avoiding any kind of peer review altogether.
I'm not saying yours is bad/wrong, but it would probably be helpful to do the whole posting thing next time.
