Vallejo presents two new sets for British colours in collaboration with Mike Stammer and one for Middle East.
WWII British Colors UK/BEF/Europe 1939-1945
Set of 8 model Air colors which include all the references needed to paint any type of British Army vehicles, used between 1939 and 1945, beginning with the forces stationed in British territory, the Expeditionary forces in France and the forces in Italy and on the European front.

WWII British Colors Africa 1939-1943
Set of 8 Model Air colors, containing a selection of colors needed for painting any type of British army vehicles, used between 1939 and 1943 and deployed from the African front up to Egypt and the Middle East.

The references of the colors used by the British armed forces on light vehicles or tanks were ruled by very strict regulations and in accordance with the date and specific operation, however exact historical colors, such as those employed by Tarmac, were not available for reproduction even though already in 1931, a color chart with these colors was available.

Both sets have been developed with the assistance and advice of Mike Starmer, whose work is well known by modelers and historians.

Middle East Wars (1967’s to Present)
Set of 8 Model Air colors, including a selection of camouflage colors used for vehicles and tanks in the Yom Kippur War and other Middle East conflicts.

The vast majority of armored material and vehicles deployed by Egypt and Syria were of URSS origin, and were received in their original dark green color. On this original green a new base tone was repainted in sand color, with the application of camouflage patterns appropriate to the context and combat conditions: sand tones combined with dark spots with contrasting hard edges which broke the silhouette of the vehicle.
These patterns generally included two or three tones on the base sand color, which presented some variations.

Are these new colours matched to Mike Starmers colour swatches or are they approximations taken from the standard range of colours?

I would read the "in collaboration with Mike Starmer" as confirmation that they are... but that probably me just being a bit too trusting
