Depends how late war you are talking Darrell (I can only see red X's, so I assume it is dark yellow or dark yellow/ brick red). RAL 7021 (dark grey) was used in 1945 in the last months of the war due to shortages and/or expediancy. Prior to this in 1944 tanks were leaving the factory in dark yellow (RAL 7028). Tanks units would then apply paint (if they had the time or supplies!!) that best suited the local enviroment. One scheme ordered by OKH was on October 31st of 1944 was that dark yellow (RAL 7028) was to be replaced by primer red oxide (RAL 8012) as a base colour with dark yellow (RAL 7028). OKH orders regarding paint schemes for armour toward the end of the war were many, some units ceased to exist before the changes could be implemented, or were simply ignored.
