From May 18, 1938 until January 29, 1942, Technische Lieferbedingungen (TL) 5106 states a base colour of Dunkelgrau No. 46, 1/3 of the tarpaulin is to be camouflaged in Dunkelbraun No. 45.

From January 30, 1942 onwards, TL 5136 states a base colour of Gelbbraun, 1/3 again to be camouflaged, this time in Graugrün.

Dunkelgrau No 46- RAL 7021

Dunkelbraun No 45- RAL 7017

Gelbbraun RAL 8000

Graugrün RAL 7008
