Panzer Aces Profiles Issue 01 - Guide to Camouflage and Insignia of the German Tanks, 1935-1945

During WWI, the Germans followed the French procedure of using several camouflage colors to paint spots that would somehow disguise the silhouette of their armored vehicles, transport vehicles and artillery pieces. These items usually came out of the factory painted in a greenish grey color which came in either a darker or a lighter tone. Before the material was sent to the front it was painted with reddish brown, sand colored and dark green spots, and in some cases the edges of these spots were painted with black paint along the spots' contours.
