Those HBT fatigues that he is wearing are an Olive Green shade. I have yet to find a paint out of bottle/tin that matches that color just right... At least not since the old Humbrol Authentic and Pactra International Color lines went away...

 

F is for FIRE, That burns down the whole town!

U is for URANIUM... BOMBS!

N is for NO SURVIVORS...

I'm colorblind too.  Paint him all green.  When I was in the Army everything they gave me was green.  You can't go wrong with green!  If it was brown, well, back to the latrine!

Olive-drab was a brown-green, so just meet in the middle!

I feel your pain.  I have gotten into many arguments over the color of something.

I mix up colors as well. I mostly cannot tell the difference between dark blue and purple, most other colors I can see fine.
