Refresh my memory - German open-topped vehicle interior colors

Elfenbein is RAL 1014. Creamweiss is RAL 9001. That being said , I’m not sure , but I believe that 9001 is the "new’ RAL (RAL was “denazified” in 1953 with revisions in 61 and 94(?) ) Some colors got new names , some same name, different color, …

No.46 Dunkelgrau became RAL7021 in early 41(?) . That’s when all the RAL(ww2) numbers we’ve all come to know and love came in.

what does RAL mean, then?

Back in the day … The paint colors used were defined by the Reich-Ausschuss für Lieferbedingungen (RAL) (Reich committee for terms of delivery). It is important to note that, while the current Bundeswehr color standard uses some of the same color names, the colors are different from the ones used during the war.

I guessed as much as the acronym being related to “reich-something”.
