                        I see the kit you are talking about, and the figure in question. What part of his uniform/color were you asking about. The Oak Leaf pattern itself?

                        The base color of the Oak Leaf pattern is a sandy brown color- perhaps some gray/violet tones if the jacket or the inks had faded- but on the box art, I would venture that it appears more of a violet blue gray due to the box artist painting the figures into a cold, snowy setting. To make the figures blend in he might have used a grayish brown for lighting purposes. Here's a link I found on Google

                        Hope that helps!
