WW2 UK Military Vehicle paint.....

[bigduke6]

Anyone in the know of UK Military paint colours during WW2 ?

Found this snippet from a vehicle forum but its about the only one,

First wartime base colour was "Mid Bronze Green" to BS381 0f 1930. and that was the standard base colour until November 1941 when Khaki Brown later classified as Khaki-Brown SCC No.2. was issued. Khaki Brown SCC No.4 was an alternative to SCC No2 during later 1942-43 but both in use depends on the factory and availablity. Khaki Green SCC No15 was authorised as base colour from early 1944 and was also refered to a Olive Drab.


Although I,m colour blind I can tell the difference between shades etc (colour blindness is only when a mass of different colours are shown that its hard to make something out or hidden between them)

Just wonder how far off Nato green is from Mid bronze green and olive drab, the nato looks to be lighter and possible greyer than the other two on some paint charts.
