I have always wondered why toy soldiers companies paint their product in yellow color.
Most vehicles were painted using a RAL 8000/RAL 7008 colors combination, the fact that this camo was invisible on B/W pics is becase both colors have almost the same tone, so there is no contrast between them. If we add desert dust and sand...the response is that those old AFV certainly look like were painted only in one color.
Here some examples using that color combination, these tanks are not finished at all in fact they have just been painted, and certainly show that main color was brown and not yellow and that the original camouflage color was very hard to see.
