Color of the RV fuselage band of ZG 76?

Gentlemen,

Simple question: The "Reichsverteidigung" band of ZG 76 was red, but which tone? In a Mushroom publication about the Me 410 I read RLM 26 copper brown - why not the standard RLM 23? Is there any documentation about this?

Cheers,
Christian

No one? Is red confirmed at least? As I have read, ZG 76 started with a yellow band and changed to red later..
