Camouflage Colors.

Patrick:
First of al I have received you spread sheets. It is my intent to provide the color codes for, 4 and 5 color day printed fabric, dark pattern 5 color and the 5 color night pattern. Also the naval 3 color hexagon pattern. Ray Rimmel has the values too dark.
The colors used on fuselages of various aircraft. All the colors will have RBG values, so anyone can get the precise color. This is where Jan comes in.
He has the Methuen Handbook of Color, from that he will provide the RBG values.
In regard to the early Jasta 10 camouflaged Pfalz D.III, I can offer they were camouflaged in Deep green and mauve. The dominant color is deep green and the lesser color is greyish lilac. I have arbitrarily used deep green, 27D8 and greyish lilac, 15B2. In selecting these colors, I used the standard green table and the lilac/mauve table and matched the average grey values in several photos. We do not have fabric samples to work from.
Blue skies,
Dan-San
