Hurricane Battle of Britain camouflage — paint codes across four brands

The warm brown that covered roughly half of the upper surfaces. In 1940, this was a genuine earth-brown — not the redder, warmer tone that appears in some later schemes. Study photographs of surviving airworthy examples like R4118 for the most accurate reference in natural light.

The deeper, cooler green that completed the disruption pattern. In scale, this colour should feel distinctly darker than the Dark Earth — the tonal contrast was intentional. Fading in sunlight shifts both colours toward warmer, paler tones over a flying season.

Sky is the underside colour that gives the BoB Hurricane its distinctive pale green-grey tone. It is not blue, not grey, and emphatically not white. Humbrol's No.90 is the standard reference. The spinner and fuselage band were also Sky. Some late-1940 Hurricanes switched to Duck Egg Blue on the undersides — this appears on some decal sheet options and should be treated as a variant rather than the standard.

The inside of the Hurricane cockpit was painted Interior Green — a mid-tone grey-green used throughout RAF aircraft of the period. All instruments, panels, seat back and sidewalls were this colour. The Sutton harness was natural cotton canvas.
