What would be the best color to use? I can get Pollyscale at the LHS but haven't seen anything specific for Marines. Testors MM has a color in enamel but I am trying to teach the kids and it would be better if it were acrylic.

Dragon instructions say MM Euro Dark Green. I have and used it, and its not that accurate. You need something that is a pale bluish green. I have the same question.
