The AII colors were standard in the years 1940-41, and widely used in the following years too, when AMT colors became standard.
Here are approximate equivalences to some color catalogues.
The color chips shown below are merely indicative of the actual color, partly because of the difficulty to see screen colors and painted chips under the same light conditions, and partly on account of the different appearance of the same color on different computers and even between different programs on the same computer.
