Humbrol started its line of 'Authentic colours' in late 1967. Initially these colours were only sold in sets of four called kits. From 1974 on they were also sold separately, and Humbrol produced special paint lockers for shops to display them. A 1975 advertisement claimed that there were 98 Authentic Colours and 50 standard colours at the time. The Authentics line was ended in 1989. This webpage lists the kits with their contents, to show the system behind the individual tin codes. Without this knowledge, it's difficult to make sense of the 200 plus Authentic paints. The tins are also listed alphanumerically.
The 'kit' list is nearly complete. It appears that two Railroad sets are still missing. One is likely a set for C.P.R. (Canadian Pacific Railway ?) and possibly one Railroad set with generic colours. The names of many Railroad colours are not confirmed yet, alternative versions are listed in square brackets. Comments in round brackets are Humbrol's.
Special thanks to Richard Humm, 'Smallscaleworld', Mario Wens, Dave 'Rossobantam', 'Tempestfan', Stephen Mortimer, Eric Verschuur and Jan Böttcher.

Kit photos
Humbrol Authentics were sold in a large variation
of packages. Four types are shown here.
One of several styles of the Authentic 'kit'
boxes. Note the brown and blue checkers
on the tins, with colour-painted lids.
Shown in 1973 and 1975 advertisements.
Another box version: a simple rectangular
version. The tins have white lids with a black
tin code that appears to be printed.
Shown in 1972 advertisement.
This more colourful box is probably a later
version. Note that the tins now have a yellow
and brown 'camouflage' pattern at the bottom,
with bare-metal lids with a white label.
(Ebay photo)
Of the four box types, this one has the most
'modern' look. The 'camouflaged' tins are better
visible here. They have bare-metal lids with a
white label. (Ricardo Dacoba photo)

Authentic colours added to the range after kits were discontinued
In 1981, thirty-six new colours were added to the Authentics line. In a 1982 advert, part of the HM and HR lines is no longer listed, as were the Racing colours. The RAL colours were possibly only sold in Germany, although a few also appeared in the Netherlands. The same applies to the 'PA' set of colors, that are unique in not having a number assigned and only having a German name.
