Standard RLM Number 70 Name Black Green Swatch #384140 (estimate, from Vallejo Black Green RLM70) 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 70 Vallejo and AK Interactive and AMMO by Mig and Mr. Hobby name these paints for RLM 70.
