Info needed: correct colours for WWII Aust vehicles

[Mrs Vampire]

I am a little aware of the Munsell system. My understanding is you have to purchase the system and most paint makers dont use it.

The info on the AWM site is a recent addition ( last three months ) I am unsure why they chose that way of describing the paint rather than get someone with a spectro in and make the readings available. In my opinion a spectro is a far more accurate and universal way of managing paint colours.

I am not so sure it would be much use to a paint manafacturer or someone mixing up a shade for you.

The kind of information most companies use is spectrograph with readings like that below for "warm sand" from the Australian Standard Jan 1943
