The colour of the machines is not entirely certain.
I consider that they were most likely painted LVA blue.
However on the few photos I've seen, it seems the colour is somewhat darker though.
Some state that they were overall LVA khaki, a colour such as applied on the Fokker D.VII and Fokker C.I was applied. This colour is considerably darker than that of e.g. the Fokker S.IV.
