No, the USN didn't use the same measures in WWI, although some patterns were similar in both appearance and effect. Dowly's post (No. 2 above) specifically referred to WWII examples he'd seen, so that's what I responded to. My post (No. 3 above) was referring entirely to WWII, so I got a little off-topic there. Sorry for not being clear about which was I was talking about.
The book suggested by Sailor Steve (No. 4 above) -- which I'd seen listed elsewhere but was unfamiliar with the contents -- actually has a description of the colors used by the USN during WWI that, while somewhat general, will at least give me a running start on guessing at the colors in the black-and-white images of the ship in question.
