RAL 6003 Olive Green Color Guide:
RAL 6003 Olivgrün was officially introduced as a camouflage color in 1943 following official Wehrmacht regulations A.H.M. 1943, Blatt 9 from 7th April 1943, No. 322 (O.K.H. (Ch H Rüst u. BdE), 3rd April 1943 - 72/88/16 - In 2 (V).
For a short time in 1943, RAL 6003 Olivgrün could be used to apply camouflage mottles over Dunkelgrau Nr. 46 used as the primary camouflage color of German vehicles.
RAL 6003 Olivgrün replaced RLM 62 Grün, which was temporarily used for the newly introduced 3-tone German AFV camouflage in Feb-Apr 1943 according to A.H.M. 1943, Blatt 5 from 22nd February 1943, No. 181 (O.K.H. (Ch d H Rüst u. BdE), 18th February 1943 - 72/88/1 - In 2 (V)). This scheme involved applying camouflage patches of RLM 82 and RAL 8017 Rotbraun over the Dunkelgelb nach Muster base.
From April 1943, RAL 6003 Olivgrün was used to paint camouflage patches on German vehicles together with RAL 8017 Rotbraun over a base coat of RAL 7028 Dunkelgelb, according to A.H.M. 1943, Blatt 9 from 7th April 1943, No. 322 (O.K.H. (Ch H Rüst u. BdE), 3rd April 1943 - 72/88/16 - In 2 (V)).
RAL 6003 Olivgrün, according to the regulation of Oberkommandos des Heeres H.V.Bl. 1945 Teil B, Blatt 4 dated February 12, 1945, No 52 (O.K.H., 24th January 1945 - 70 k 10/10 - WaA/Wa Chef Ing 1/V), was to be a new base coating, replacing RAL 7028 used for this purpose.
RAL 6003 Olivgrün was used as a base color of German WW2 vehicles according to the Tarnbild (Camouflage master) pattern (Tarnanstrich), or the so-called German late-WW2 ambush camouflage.
In 1945, due to the lack of paint stocks and the rush for production, RAL 6003 could also be used as the uniform color of German vehicles.
RAL 6003 Olive Green, together with RAL 7021 Schwarzgrau and FS 34079 Forest Green were used to paint camouflage patches of the 3-tone German Norm-83 green aircraft camouflage used in the 1980 and1990s, including for exported aircraft such as F-104 delivered to Greece.
RAL 6003 Olive Green was also used in the Norm-84 scheme, simplifying the Norm 83 scheme by using only RAL 6003 Olivgrün and RAL 7021 Schwarzgrau, and the FS color was no longer used.
