History of British DPM:

A good swatch to give you an idea of the colours (this one states it is 1984 DPM but it didn't change much between 1968 and today):

A good photo of some troops in the Falklands wearing DPM (You can see the variations in shade between garments - most likely due to bleaching by the sun, wear and tear, washing and different batches of cloth):

Hope these help,
