Standard RAL Number 6040 Name Helloliv Swatch #5c5331 (estimate, from AK Interactive RAL 6040 F9 Helloliv) RAL is the German colour standard used for most German Army vehicle colours (Dunkelgelb, Olivgrün, Rotbraun and more). Paint makers each mix their own version of a standard colour, and faded or weathered vehicles vary a lot, so expect some difference between brands.
