With tints constantly added to the collection, it was revised again in 1961 and changed to "RAL 840-HR", which consists of 210 colours and is in use to this day. Army camouflage colours were always recognized by a "7" or "8" in the first place until 1944. In the 1930s, the numbers were changed uniformly to four digits and the collection was renamed to "RAL 840 R" (R for revised).Īround 1940, the RAL colours were changed to the four-digit system, as is customary. Prior to that date manufacturers and customers had to exchange samples to describe a tint, whereas from then on they would rely on numbers. In 1927, the German group Reichs-Ausschuß für Lieferbedingungen (National Committee for Delivery and Quality Assurance) invented a collection of forty colours under the name of "RAL 840". This colour has been discarded in the modern RAL colour palette. The tripod is painted in RAL 7028 Dunkelgelb (Dark yellow). World war II MG 42 gun mounted on a Lafette 42 tripod.
