Standard Colours & Varnishes — RC801–RC820
The Standard range forms the utility backbone of the AK Real Colors system: three varnish types in lacquer, a run of neutral blacks and whites with RAL designations, basic primaries, metallics, and buff tones used across all modelling subjects. These colours appear wherever you need tonal mixing, primer support, interior painting, or a final sealing coat. All are lacquer-based and formulated for airbrushing.

Seven colours covering IJN and IJA aircraft camouflage, interior, and structural colours for the Pacific War 1941–1945.
