Arquus Panhard paint codes

The factory colours the registry has researched on Panhard vehicles: 1 colour, 1 with a recorded paint code. Each hex is a representative value — averaged from photographed factory chips or quoted from a standard — not a measured match; the code is what to give a paint supplier.

Vert PIR OTAN (NATO green)

PAINT CODE24X5 / 34X5HEX#58584BRGB88, 88, 75

The single-colour French Army vehicle green, satin 24X5 or matt 34X5, and the ground colour of the French VAB, VBL and VLRA before three-tone camouflage; a TPK 4.20 in Chad in 1983–84 wore sand stripes over it. A French defence colour standard (NORMDEF 0001, DGA), not an ACMAT or Arquus paint code; the code is the standard's reference (DEF-C). The hex is converted from the standard's CIELAB values (illuminant C, 2°) and is representative.

WORN BY Panhard VBL (1985–2010), VBL with MILAN

Colours are as the registry has researched them for these vehicles; a paint code is the authority, the hex only a guide. Corrections and better chips are welcome through the suggestion form.
