Hey Mike I've seen a bit of a variety. I think the same rule applies as M41 jackets. They are all officially OD, but the variation is immense. Maybe lean towards a greyer tone of OD?

If you're after an acrylic paint mix for the raincoat (just preempting the question ) here's the mix Artur Miniszewski used on Alpine's 35051 WW2 US Tank Crew #1 release: Artur's raincoat mix in Vallejo
