An old problem
The same problem comes up in trying to figure out the correct colour for British aircraft in the First World War - with the colour of the dope ranging from brown to green to olive drab. No colour photos and surviving examples are faded and so on. One account I have says it was specced to be a kind of DTB, but shifted to green-ish depending on the application, fabric colour, weathering and so on.
Khaki means 'dusty' - originated in British India campaigning.
