The Insignia White (FS17875, ANA 511) color closely replicates the authentic shade of white used in military aviation, primarily on American aircraft.

This shade was introduced into official camouflage palettes during World War II. It was widely used by the United States Army Air Forces (USAAF/USAF) and the Navy (US Navy) during World War II and later on Cold War era aircraft – including the F-86 Sabre, F-16 Fighting Falcon, and F/A-18 Hornet. Insignia White was used to paint the undersides of wings and aircraft insignia, increasing the visibility of markings and helping to camouflage aircraft against a bright sky. The unification of ANA (Army-Navy Aeronautical) 511 colors and Federal Standard numbering FS17875 guarantees identical shade reproduction for demanding historical modelers.
