I've seen references to it, but am not sure exactly what this color is.

Going by reference it seems to be a pale gray green. Almost mint in some cases.

What brand do you paint with?

Any brand I can find that will work. Tamiya, Model Master are readily available, while I'd have to special order Vallejo, and if I can, I'd use Krylon spray paint (the pistachio green for M113 interior for example(.

I looked at spray paints at an Ace Hardware store, and one color is a light green called "Apple Green", and it does match the color of a green delicious apple. Would that work?
