> This particular tank is painted in one of the more elaborate Renault schemes, seen mainly on tanks from the 1937–38 contract batches delivered from May 1937 to June 1939. The unusually vivid camouflage scheme stemmed from an artillery branch camouflage program of March 10, 1937 that established 15 camouflage colors in three families: sky shades, earth shades and shadow shades. The Renault practice was to use the sky colors on the upper portions of the tank, the earth colors in bands along the center, and the shadow shades below. There were complaints that the new tanks had eight colors, four of them rather vivid, which defeated the purpose of camouflage. As a result, the manufacturers were ordered to go back to the more modest style recommended in 1938 instructions.
