Standard RLM Number 01 Name Silver Swatch #f1f0f3 (estimate, from Vallejo Silver RLM01 (Met.))
RLM numbers are the German Air Ministry colours used on Luftwaffe aircraft. 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 RLM 01 Vallejo names these paints for RLM 01.
