Hi Jerry and welcome to Armorama!
Honestly, IDF Sand Green is such an elusive color that nobody has yet agreed (to my knowledge) what companies' color is the most accurate. I thought that DOA had gotten it right and others said it needed more brown. There are several paint lines that have IDF Sand Green and all are different. Likewise, color modulation depends on which paint you choose and how you want to shift it.
