What is the right color for modern US 40 mm grenade launcher ammo cans? Tamiya's modern accessory set says to paint them olive drab, but in pictures the color looks closer to medium green. Which is it? Do they come in different colors? Thanks for helping me out!

Thanks guys--I'll go ahead and paint them with Tamiya's dark olive drab.

Due to fade and use (especially with the sand blaster effect of the desert), really take your pick. But a dark olive drab is good enough. I use ModelMasters OD.
