CARC green in the standard single colour now for Canadian AFVs.

The Grizzly had been out of service since the early 2000s replaced by the LAV III.

The Coyote is being replaced by the TAPV.

The Leopard C2 has been replaced by Leopard 2 variants.

You can use Tamiya NATO green lightened a bit and some modellers prefer Vallejo NATO green. There are lots of variations in the fading of CARC/NATO green so if you are looking for a straight out of bottle solution you will have to play around with some mixology.
