From the vehicles I saw over there, it is a greyish sand color. Do'nt have a match in model colors for you, but here are some photos:

Those should help.

They had some that was kinda pinkish sand and grey/ white sand. Its hard to tell from a flyby in a Blackhawk. I think they used whatever color they could find that was remotely sand color. just my 2 cents worth...

i've seen some that look kinda pea green with a tint of tan in it?

i've also seen a few different camo patterns on some wheeled vehicles that were blown up on the one airport on our major camp, it looked like a german camo to tell you the truth, like a tan base, red brownish spots and a type of green around the redbrown.

i couldn't get any pics of it this time due to my camera was on the FOB and not on me.

Word of caution, the last 3 photo above are not Iraqi vehicles, this one is at the National Training Center (NTC), Ft Irwin ,CA as an OpFor (Opposing Force, aka. enemy) vehicle.

The last one is at ft Bliss Museum and was repainted after ODS.

Great photos, but not correct Iraqi schemes.
