Historical use of RLM 78 color

The RLM 78 Hellblau color played a key role in the camouflage of German aircraft used by the Luftwaffe during World War II. It was the standard light blue shade used for painting the undersides of aircraft, mainly during the North African Campaign (1941–1943), also known as Schlacht um Nordafrika. This paint was used on aircraft such as the Messerschmitt Bf 109, Bf 110, Focke-Wulf Fw 190, and the bomber Junkers Ju 88. It was primarily used by the German Air Force during World War II, and its specific shade matched the RLM (Reichsluftfahrtministerium) guidelines for camouflage in the Mediterranean and desert theatres.
