Original historical shade – IJA Parched Grass

The "IJA Parched Grass (Karekusa-iro)" shade reproduces the authentic color used by the Imperial Japanese Army (IJA) during World War II. This color was applied as camouflage to combat vehicles, tanks, trucks, as well as selected weaponry and auxiliary equipment. The typical Karekusa-iro palette was especially common on vehicles used in the Far East, China, and in the Pacific islands, where local climatic conditions required camouflaging colors corresponding to dried and burnt vegetation.
