The Story
The dark shadow tone at the heart of NATO camouflage. NATO Black is one of the three standard colours introduced for the vehicles and equipment of NATO armies in the 1980s, and it turns up further afield too — in the Republic of Korea Army's four-colour scheme and on USAF aggressor F-16s. It's the tone that gives that European camo its bite.
