Ah, not to be blunt but any particular nation?

There are a few nations with AFVs in Iraq.

There is no such thing as an exact colour on an AFV after it leaves the factory.

US vehicles in Iraq is painted in CARC Tan FS 33446. There are several companies which make it, but the best match is supposed to be Model Master enamel.

As Erik states above, the best match is Testors Model Master Sand, FS 33531.

Lee, Gunze Sangyo H313 is an exact match to FS 33531 (according to a couple of paint matching sites), but is semi-gloss. Humbrol's Light Stone (I think) is also an exact match. And don't forget that Model Master also makes an Acryl version of its Sand color, if you want to use acrylics.
