Tarpaulin Grey

RAL 7010 Tarpaulin Grey is a dark, functional grey-green named after the heavy canvas covers used to protect military and industrial equipment. This practical shade is specified for military vehicles, industrial covers, and heavy-duty outdoor equipment where durability and low visual profile are equally important. Tarpaulin Grey is part of several NATO camouflage specifications and provides effective concealment in temperate grassland and urban environments.
