Trouble is, there is no one color Khaki. You'll have to take your reference and a set of Mark I eyeballs and get a match that way.

Correct, Sir!

For the campaign, I am painting a US GI with a Melton Wool 0vercoat and all the references I have say Khaki but it sure looks brown to me!

Try finding a color picture from another source. If that's not possible, just fire away and match the brown.
