Gulf Armor Sand (although you didn't want to hear it, it wouldn't hurt to have), NATO Green, NATO Black, NATO Brown, Flat Black, White or a very light gray.
For drybrushing, mix the white or light gray with your base color and go to work. If you use a NATO scheme, I'd probably use MM Armor Sand (or some name close to that) for the whole thing, just make sue you don't over do it or it will look overdone and thus less accurate/convincing.

MM Armor sand is the correct name (1704 armor sand 30277) and MM has also 2136 US Army/Marines Sand
