I am sure this has been asked before, so I apologize. What are some good colors to use to paint this scheme? I would prefer to use vallejo paints...


Any help would be awesome. Also if you recommend mixes could you please guess on percentages?

Thanks!

you will need 2 shades of green brown and black

Exact colors don't really matter on most uniforms. As long as it is close, you are good since every piece of uniform fades and wears out differently. This effect leaves every one a different shade of the original.



I would go with a few different shades of each color; brown, green, sand, etc. Of note, there is no black on MultiCam, that is the biggest difference between them and the old Woodland Camo.

That Gino, Sounds like i need to go to clothing sales and put a small item in MULTICAM. Once i get that then I can hit the hobby shops and try to match....

light tan, and coyote brown are two colors you need. Medium green and dark green as well. Olive drab I think rounds it out. This site here has a few ideas, you could match colors to the FS standards pretty readily as well.

Or, go to militarymorons.com, the colours are listed there as: MultiCam is comprised of six colours, (note that I'm using names that I'm most familiar with to describe the colours and that may not be entirely accurate)- a dark chocolate brown, a medium/flat earth brown, MJK khaki/green, medium green, desert pink, and a light grey (the base fabric natural colour). What makes it difficult to describe (and see) is that some of these colours are gradiated and fade into each other in some places. Another feature of MultiCam is that is does not consist of a uniformly tight pattern that repeats itself freqently. The medium shades of colour alternate in a larger pattern, so that an area will change from a predominantly green hue to a brownish one a yard down. The small blotches of grey and dark brown will sometimes cluster in one area, then be absent in another. This combination of tight pattern and larger, 'seasonal change' enables MultiCam to work both close up and from a distance away. The large changes of overall tone break up one the silhouette of the larger form while the smaller patterns blend it with the immediate environment. Crye coined the term 'macroflage' for the way the distribution of large areas of colour works. Photo (1) on the left shows 4 different swatches cut from different areas of fabric. The top left swatch is predominantly green while the bottom left one is brown. The ones on the right incorporate the smaller blotches of colour. Photos (2) and (3) show Multicam in arid (L) and woodland (R) environments. Photo (4) shows me in the high desert.

hope this helps,
