Modeling Use and Historical Significance of the Color

The Dark Earth (C022) color is a standard shade found in British camouflage schemes from World War II, used, among others, by the Royal Air Force (RAF) for camouflaging the upper surfaces of fighters and bombers such as the Spitfire, Hurricane, Lancaster, and Wellington. This shade was extremely popular from 1938–1945 as part of the classic “Dark Green/Dark Earth” scheme in the European and North African theaters of war.

The paint is also used in land vehicle models to recreate natural tones of earth, mud, and dust in historical diorama scenes, as well as for models of vehicles from World War II and the early years of the Cold War.
