Standard RLM Number 73 Name Green Swatch #3b4441 (estimate, from Vallejo Green RLM73) 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.
