Why weren't the police cars in their official colors? - A Woman in Blue Dress and Her Brown Pug

Recently I watched the movie The Hitman's Bodyguard (2017) and was intrigued by the location setting in Europe and especially Amsterdam.

What I noticed as a local was that the pattern used on the police vehicles that were in the movie are not similar to the official car pattern used by the Dutch police.

I assume they wanted the movie to be as authentic as it could be. Why was the pattern then off? Didn't the Dutch police give permission to use their pattern? What was the reason for this?
