Looking for info on Bf-109 Yellow 5 of I/JG53

Thank you very much for the photoquality input. That's an area that is important in interpreting these old colorshots that I certainly could learn more about.

That could be enough to "make" the lighter color green like RLM82 (Or possibly 83 even) but I still think the darker color would be RLM81. The rudder looks almost purple and adjusting for Magenta might make it brown but not green. Besides, I'm not sure that I believe that the RLM82/83 combination was used at all.

Looking at the colorchips from Jürgen Kiroff the contrast between these colors simply seems to low. (According to David E Brown these chips matches original chips of the latewar colors found in czechia some years ago.)

It's been established beyond doubt that there was a green shade of RLM81 and I think it might be green RLM81 combined with 82 that is the actual source for many schemes that we today interpret as 82/83.
