Feldgrau was never one feldgrau. Early war cloth carried a grey-blue cast, later cloth a distinctly green one, and within a single unit both were routinely mixed. The set therefore gives two complete three-step ladders – shadow, base, highlight – one for each variant. It applies to the Wehrmacht, to paratroopers and to tank crews alike.

FAQ
Which variant is the right one?
It depends on period and unit. Broadly: earlier war and parade uniforms lean grey-blue, later war and field uniforms lean green. Across a unit of figures a mix of both reads best.
Does it work on 28 mm wargame figures?
Yes, though it is designed for larger scales. At 28 mm two steps of the three are often enough – base and shadow – with the highlight only on shoulders and folds.
Can the paints be bought individually?
Yes. These are standard shades from the AK 3rd Generation range in 17 ml bottles, so when one runs out you only replace that one.
Can they be airbrushed?
Yes. Thinned with 3rd Generation thinner they pass through a 0.2 mm nozzle as easily as lacquer paints. Neat, they are meant for brushwork.
More paint sets are in the AK 3rd Generation Paint Sets category, and individual shades in AK 3rd Generation.
