According to my pictures it looks like the green used for the interior is a different green than the green used in the 3 tone camouflage. If so, what is the right colourfor the interior ?

Thanx in advance,
Marc

The interiors are not painted OD green, they are forest green (Tamiya's NATO Green) inside for a Desert Storm era HMMWV. Currently, HMMWVs have been coming factory painted in desert sand, including tan interior, tan plastic parts, tan canvas seats. An M1025 in use today could be either all tan inside and out or be an older, previously NATO camouflaged vehicle painted tan (with a green interior). The green interiors of closed top HMMWVs (like the M966, M997, M1025, M1026, M1036) were never repainted inside.

The interior green is the same as the green in the camouflage pattern. Most likely the variation you see is due to weathering of the outer paint and lack of lighting of the interior when photographed.
