@jackeric@beige.party Look up "Desert Pink". IIRC this is what happens when USAAF sand-coloured paint gets exposed to desert sunshine for several months (1942-3, notably on the B-26). It happened enough that there's a name for it, so it can't have been that uncommon. As far as tanks go, IIUC it's more likely dust and mud. I have seen photos of German armour in Russia being smeared with mud as camouflage (I think related to thaws in early winter, after the vehicles had been overpainted white). @Hammerwell@troet.cafe @Lignedescience@social.sciences.re
