Historical information about RLM81 color

The RLM81 color was introduced into Luftwaffe standards around 1944 and was widely applied to fighters such as the Messerschmitt Bf 109G, Focke-Wulf Fw 190D, and bombers at the end of World War II. In combination with RLM82 and RLM83, it was used for camouflage patterns on the Western and Eastern fronts. The Brown Violet shade provided effective protection from detection from both air and ground.
