The Vallejo 71211 British Caunter Colors (6x17ml) set is a high-quality collection of acrylic paints mainly intended for historical scale modeling, especially for enthusiasts of military vehicles used by the British Armed Forces during World War II. This set has been specifically developed to reproduce historically authentic colors of the Caunter Scheme camouflage, used on British armored vehicles in the African campaign, mainly in the years 1940–1942.

The "Caunter" scheme was introduced by the British Army in North Africa, where its characteristic multi-color camouflage was designed to effectively conceal tanks, armored cars, and other vehicles operating in the challenging desert environment. Among the equipment using this camouflage were the legendary Matilda tanks, A13 Cruiser, AEC, and Humber or Marmon-Herrington armored cars.
