Hey John, in WWII the issue color of packs, webbing and such for the army was a field drab, whick appears almost as a khaki color. Remember that equipment that was stowed on the exterior of vehicles was subject to fading and weathering, so what looks stone could, in fact, be faded field drab. You can also check source info, such as color photos from the war. Good Modeling!
