Everyone knows what colour a lobster is - red. The same colour as a British tourist on day 3 of a Spanish holiday !
Except that according to the book of nature I looked at they aren't. Lobsters only go red when you cook them. Since I wasn't planning on having cooked lobster on the trawler it was going to have to be brown.
But brown lobster isn't were appealing. And this is a cartoon boat so I decided to go for stereotype over accuracy. My lobster (a Playmobile accessory) is painted red and then dry-brushed with rust. That gave me a red-ish lobster that isn't totally stupid. Honour is satisfied, even if David Attenborough wouldn't be.
