Re: Camouflage colours on a Ju 87A

Do these variations include permutations of the three colors?

Back to "our" Ju 87A: if the lighter color on the nose (marked '1') only appears to be light (it could be RLM 62), and then the darker areas behind it (marked '2' and '3') reaching until a bit aft of the octane triangle are the same color (RLM 61), and the slightly lighter segment that comes next is RLM 62 again, then the only area where we can be sure there are 4 colors is around the codes. Then it's a Ju 87A with a standard camo pattern - but slightly repainted with a fourth color added under the '24'. The strange thing is that this fourth color (marked '1') looks like the normal RLM 63. Then why is the lightest color (marked '4') so pale? Is it a pale grey? It can't be so badly faded as the aircraft is in a good condition. Here another question emerges: Was the 3-color pre-war camo always only RLM 61/62/63 or did they use further colors?
