Standard RAL Number 8031 Name Sandbraun Swatch #846138 (estimate, from AK Interactive RAL 8031 F9 Sandbraun) 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 8031 AK Interactive and AMMO by Mig name these paints for RAL 8031.
