Daimler paint codes — factory colours, codes, hex & RGB

Daimler paint codes

The factory colours the registry has researched on Daimler vehicles: 2 colours, 1 with a recorded paint code, 1 whose hex is marked as the registry’s estimate. 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.

The British service green of Dingos and Ferrets. No Daimler paint code is recorded; it is the War Department standard of the period.

No factory code recorded. The hex and RGB here are the registry's estimate from photographs and period descriptions, not a matched chip — do not order paint from them without further research.

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.
