Standard RAL Number 7009 Name Hellgrau Swatch #736737 (estimate, from AK Interactive RAL 7009 Hellgrau) 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.
