Colors with Undefined Names 23. Feldgrau Color 350 - #4D5D53
Feldgrau (field grey) was the color of the field uniform of the German Army
from late 1907 until 1945, and of some post-war uniforms of the West German
Bundeswehr and the East German NVA armies. Metaphorically,
Feldgrau used to refer to the armies of Germany (the Imperial German Army and
the Heer [army] component of the Reichswehr and the Wehrmacht).
The word feldgrau means "field grey", and by World War I the color was a light
grey-green, though there is no specific color, rather a color range of greys to
browns, that was one of the first standardized uniforms suitable to the age of
smokeless gunpowder. Formerly, the Germans wore a Prussian blue shade similar
to that of the French.
