Embrace the different colors of DDC or try to match?

Well I'm kinda at a stand still here and not knowing which route to go. As the angle and light changes so does the anodized colors. But here it is normally in it's raw. Stock and grip will be Coyote Tan and controls will be FDE. Where I'm stumped on is should I hold out and later try and get another anodized DDC set that will hopefully match more closely or should I just embrace the different shades and move on? A small part of me loves the SCAR look it has going on. But the OCD part of me is screaming no.

I'm glad to see that I'm not the only one that got a Luna Black lower and a 'black' upper from Brownell's. Some how this:

Please note the Geissele Super Duty Receiver Sets are not a "matched set". The shades of anodize between the upper and lower may be slightly different

didn't not prepare me for TOTALLY DIFFERENT COLORS.

What did you use on the receivers, Moly Resin?

What? And yea I didn't get too lucky this time with the DDC but sometimes it works out nicely.

Dudes on Boomerchan (Arfcom) have lost years off their lives trying to get matching FDE/DDC/Dark Poop Tan.

Just run it.

If it's not jet black, it's serving its purpose. Doesn't have to match to be effective, and one would think the opposite would be true even.

I'd be the guy who'd drop green furniture on it just because.

Sounds like cheap and effective camouflage to me!

I think it was a Green Beret I heard talking about camouflage once, who said that a big reason they camo stuff isn't just to avoid being seen, but to prevent someone at a distance from seeing what they had. Like it's easy to see if someone is carrying a rifle if it's all one solid color, especially if it's black, but not so much if it's all chopped up into different colors.
