I am painting some US infantry figures to put in a Battle of the Bulge Diorama but am not sure what colours to use for the webbing, straps, and other accessories. I am OK with the main uniform colours but want to make the extras stand out a bit and be "reasonably" accurate.

By the way I am using mainly Humbrol enamels.

Thanks

maybe you could find something here: modelling the US army

Or else you could try to PM Golikell he has a Sh!tload of books and he probably could give you some information about this

This is what I do. For WWII figures, I use a dark olive or earth brown for uniforms, then go with a lighter color such as khaki for the gear and straps then drybrush with OD. Canvas straps and gear bleached out and weathered severly when exposed to the elements. Here is an example of how they look.
