Standard RAL Number 8017 Name Rotbraun Swatch #35211a (estimate, from AK Interactive RAL 8017 Rotbraun) 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.
Paints labelled RAL 8017 AK Interactive and AMMO by Mig name these paints for RAL 8017.
