I agree we all just have to go with a color we like, but I would prefer to get as close to the official color range as possible, and I think that was on the darker side of the range of possibilities. Some of the colors being passed off as OD today, just seem way off the mark to me. I figured I'd see if others who share my interest in this question have considered this AK color. I think it's a good possibility. However, it is the darkest color in their OD modulation set. Their main OD color appears to me to be way too bright and green. I think it imagines what the color would like from a distance on a bright sunny, summer day. I plan to use the other colors in the set very sparingly, and I won't be using any of them for the important process of fading, which is an entirely different matter. But in terms of what I think was coming out of allied factories for army ground vehicles, this color looks really good to me. It certainly seems closer than the light greens passed off as OD by some paint manufacturers. No one has weighed in on that question with me so far, though. Perhaps, everyone has made peace with the impossibility of reaching consensus and they don't even want to talk about it anymore! :-)
