I made some chips with the AK interactive DAK colors set to compare with the samples included in the book "Wehrmacht colors" by Tomás Chory.
The only one color that is a perfect match is the RAL 7021 Dunkel grau aka panzer gray
(not showed in the photo) the other color that almost match is the AK 703 RAL 7008.
All the others AK colors mismatched the Chory´s samples.
The AK RAL 8020 it´s the same color that the AK elfenbein as you see in the following video but this mismatched totally with Elfenbein Chory´s sample.

Just judge by yourself.
All of this makes me wonder if the new AK real colors has the correct hue or they
hasn´t.

I agree, AK and AMMO DAK colors are completely off. I have RAL 8020 from both brands and its strange looking creamy yellow color. Of the paints I have, Gunze H44 is the closest match.
Judging from the box chips of the new DAK set, the hue should be fine if the colors inside are same, but we'll see.
