    OK, so I take it this one is Foilage Green:


    Based on the choices I guess this must be FDE but it looks kinda yellow to me:

    Am I right that this would be the Ranger or Smoke Green:


    This one was also called Ranger Green but looks lighter than the color above:

    Which color is this:

    Is this a brown or OD or what. Hopefully one of you guys that is better at identifying colors can help me out with this last one.

    That's either FDE or Coyote, at least that's what it looks like to me.

    A computer monitor isn't the best way to tell colors. You've got the variables of lighting in the original photograph to contend with, then you have the issue of how your monitor renders the colors. Your best bet is to hit the closest shop to you and check some colors out. It needn't be nylon, any chance you have to look at rail covers/ladders, stocks, grips, etc. will give you a good idea about FDE vs OD vs FG.

    Dark Earth in most incarnations is a grayer brown while Coyote is a browner brown. Both are medium light "deseret brown" colors.

    Foliage Green is a gray green and I believe comes from one of the darker greens in the ACU pattern

    I personally like foliage green myself. All depends what you are doing with it though.

    Foliage green is the only green in the UCP (ACU is the uniform). The other colors are an urban gray and desert tan.

    Foliage seems rather Minty to me, but I have color vision issues.
