For sand color in general, and Iraqi vehicles in particular, I like using Testors Model Master US Army Marines Gulf Armor.

All other colors for cammo are by eye. It is often a good idea to print off a picture of what you are trying to paint and then go to the hobby store and match it as best you can. If it is not exactly right, you can adjust it.

If you do all your ordering online, post a pic and we will try to help.
