Colour charts and correct colours thread ?

[Rafail]

If i may suggest something, as there are plenty of times i am searching over the net and i assume many fellow collectors do,
it would be usefull to have a permanent thread for colours regarding resto projects...

I think maybe a chart with codes refering for example to RAL colors would be very usefull...

I ve been searching a lot to find the correct color for my 3 inch mortar setup, or my various ammo boxes and so on...
Although extensivelly i can find coloring for German or US items there i almost no info regarding British material...
and not to mention some times even for German or US the color tints are wrong...

Thank you!
