Color codes for official skins

[II.JG1_Vonrd]

I assume that there was considerable research and testing put into selecting the official livery colors to match the real life colors as close as possible. Trying to find a good color match is extremely difficult because of the wide variation of apparent colors seen in photos when doing research for a particular skin. It would benefit the current Hind skin competition if ED would post / publish the color codes for what they have found to be the best. I prefer Hex but RGB or CMYK would be fine. If there are known standards it would go a long way to having a homogeneous appearance throughout the game when using similar skins. 

I'm currently struggling to find the best match for an East German Hind.

@BIGNEWY? @NineLine?

I did some more searching and I think this will be what you are looking for for the German Mi-24.

There are no specific color codes. The main thing is that the color looks as accurate as possible in the game under different lighting conditions. You should also check for color errors in the model viewer. I can give you the values of black, red and white that I use in the skins.

You miss my point. Having the same color codes used for all official skins for a particular country assures that the colors would be homogenous for all of that countries skins when loaded in game. Everybody sees colors slightly differently and their equipment plays a part. One person's "accurate" looking color can be quite different from the other person's assessment.
