Hi list,

I have included a list of various color numbers for
the most used colors on US military vehicles, WWII to present. The
information is from various sources, ads, etc.

The list is not complete, and any input is appreciated Also,
the same color name is given to several numbers, can anyone
explain the differences here? For example, what is the difference
between 33070 and 34087 WWII Olive drab?

And for you european listers, what is the availability of these
colors in Europe? Is there any cross-connection between the FS-595-A
numbers and any European standard?
