Luftwaffe RLM Colors in WW2
Sponsored by
This table lists by manufacturer all of the paints producted
to match RLM colors directly. Closely matched colors are also
shown (see the key list at the bottom of this table). The number
of color-matched Luftwaffe colors has grown in recent years,
making the need to mix colors almost unnecessary.
Let's take a look (Updated

Notes:
- ° - Indicates that the color was produced to match
but not labeled by manufacturer as match
- ˆ - Indicates that the color was produced to meet
another standard (ANA, BS, etc.) and is equivalent
- ´ - Indicates that the color is a close match
- This table is based upon the 'industry
standard' chips that were based upon Monogram's earlier works.
Those paint chips shown in the color-matched tables are the
Testors paint chips.
- The RLM color reference table consists of the color chips published by Eagle
Editions based on more up-to-date research. The color differences
from previous published works show some of the variance in
color appearance from some of the more common colors.
- These RLM color tables are by no means complete. These
are works in progress as we attempt to clarify some of these
colors to make the use of common camouflage scheme charts
easier to interpret and get the right results.
Resources:
You can find many of these paint lines in your local hobby shop, but if you don't have these
available to you locally and you are obviously reading this article online, then you can obtain
these colors from the following online sources:
This list of paint manufacturers and online resources is by
no means all-inclusive and we will provide you with periodic
updates to these lists as more information becomes available.
