I'm still trying to sort out the correct colour to paint my 1944 Chev HUW. I want to duplicate the scheme in this black and white photograph taken 'somewhere in England' just prior to the D-Day landings. The base colour is without question SCC2 (Brown No.2). The camouflage is either SCC14 Black or SCC1A Dark Brown. Both were authorized for the early 1944 period.

To try and determine what the camouflage colour was (or at least what it would look like) I colourized the WW2 photo and 'applied' both camouflage colours.

So to this learned group I ask the question: is the camouflage in the original photo dark brown or black?
