Either one. Whichever your eye prefers. I tend to lean towards the OD green though. Actual paint varied.

I agree with Rob .... either one. by the time you've weathered your Sherman it's going to be a different colour again. I usually start with a colour close to the flat dark green.

Remember in the field the paint fades and does other things. So take that to mind.

Don't forget the colour will change according to the amount of weathering,
enjoy!

For my Shermans I like to use OD (Humbrol 155). Because of the weathering I think that the exact tone doesn´t matter too much.
