Standard RLM Number 66 Name 1938 Swatch #444b50 (estimate, from Vallejo Black Grey RLM66) 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 66 Vallejo and AK Interactive and AMMO by Mig and Mr. Hobby name these paints for RLM 66.
