Delahaye VLR paint codes — factory colours, codes, hex & RGB

Delahaye VLR paint codes

The factory colours the registry has researched on VLR vehicles: 1 colour, 0 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 French army green the VLR was delivered in. No factory paint code is recorded, and French military paints of the period do not correspond to any RAL number — owners restoring VLRs quote RAL 6003, 6014 and 6020 without agreement on which is right — so the registry gives no code and the hex is its own approximation.

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.
