The darkest color : 81 or 83 ?

[Antti]

Hi!

In JaPo book "Bf 109 K, camouflage and markings", there is a photo where different RLM colours are compared in B/W photos, taken with two different films. Both shades are quite dark with a small difference.

In real life photos you cannot say for sure which is which. It seems that 81 are lighter and 83 is usually darker. But it is not so obvious always.

I hope this helps...
