Best Match for LMT FDE Sopmod

Hello all first time poster. Just got a LMT Sopmod stock in Flat Dark Earth, and was wondering if anyone has any information on what grips might be a close color match for this. I have a magpul MIAD in FDE and the color match isn't as close as id like it to be. The LMT Stock seems to have a bit more green in it. Thanks in advance. Any input is appreciated.
Thanks

Cav Arms is making some rail covers and such for Knights that is closer than anything else on the market that I have seen. If you look up FDE up on the Fed schedule you will find that it is darker than what Tango Down and Magpul are selling.
The color that Crane has set as FDE for the new SOPMOD Mk18 rails by DD is more like a Flat Dark Chocolate. LMT's version as well as Knights is closer to that FDE but if you look at the FDE on the FN SCAR is looks like TD and Magpul. So who knows.

Here's a thought. The ground, by its very nature, is not uniform in color.

Exactly. Its a gun, not a show toy.

And honestly, I have a gun with the FDE SOPMOD and a MIAD on it, and they're both close enough in color that I couldnt imagine having concerns.
