It's not easy being green.
The green colour used on the vehicles was a topic of discussion and no-one seemed to have a definite answer as to its accuracy. I had not seen anything like it before and yet must have seen restored US Marine Corp vehicles in my travels some of which would have been restored by Marine Corp nutters who got the colour right.
Some held that this colour was used as it would look right when portrayed in sepia tones in the finished production such as was done a lot in 'Band of Brothers' but that didn't seem to be used much if at all in this series.
The Marine Corp did paint their vehicles a different colour to the army I believe but I doubt that it was this shade of green.
Hopefully someone more qualified than I am on this matter will see this thread and make some pertinent comments.
