* Initially the J35J were planed too use the same colors as the JA37. But after some testing the 033M was considered too light to be used as topside color on J35J so they mixed in some black paint to tone the color down a bit. (5 to 10 percent) This was done locally.

** 507M Is no longer in use and is removed from inventory it has no match in the NCS System but the 507M is in between NCS S7010-Y50R och NCS S6010-Y50R. The 507M discolord badly over time and offseted the Camouflage effect. Nowadays the Air force uses mostly modern grey colors but the army still uses the three ramaining colors in the four color splinter scheme.
