Standard RLM Number 24 Name Dark Blue Swatch #314560 (estimate, from Vallejo Dark Blue RLM24) 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.
