I found this link in about 1 minute...

MARPAT Vallejo color list is about halfway down the thread.

I also found this tutorial on painting the ACU uniform in 1/35:

Honestly guys, it's not that hard to do a Google search for this stuff.

Good luck on your projects.

Thanks!

Just so you don't think I'm lazy, I actually did Google that one, (only took me a second, too ). That color list seems to be the best one I've found. I was just wondering if anyone had anything else to add or personal experience.

it has been my expirence that the color in the vallejo bottle IS NOT the color in the bottle and they have different names for the colors as well best to find someone os hobbyshop that has their color plaette which actually has the paint on the cards and find your color that way i only use vallejo and thats what i half to do but just remember if you are going to weather your figures you don,t need the exact color only one pretty close that is unless you are particular about color detail
