Guy Motors Light Tank (Wheeled) paint codes

Guy Motors Light Tank (Wheeled) paint codes

The factory colours the registry has researched on Light Tank (Wheeled) vehicles: 2 colours, 2 with a recorded paint code, 2 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.

Khaki Green No. 3

PAINT CODEG3HEX#4B5A3ARGB75, 90, 58

The British Army's basic vehicle colour when the Quad-Ant, the Guy Armoured Car, the Lizard and the FBAX entered service, replaced from 1942 because the chromium oxide needed to make it ran short. G3 is the Army's colour standard, not a Guy paint code; the hex is the registry's approximation.

The hex is an estimate. The paint code above is researched and is the authority; the hex and RGB are the registry's approximation of how the colour looks, not a matched chip.
