I just remember as a kid, the Humbrol model paint listed as khaki was a pale, sort of grey/green - it was nothing like olive drab. Sort of Steve Irwin shirt colour. (How's that for a colour reference?)

Warren,

I can only quote paint colour expert Mike Starmer who describes Khaki Green No. 3 as "a dark rich brown looking yellow–green". Now, for all I know this could be the colour of Steve Irwin's shirt
So the best advice I can give you is to mix up the colour according to Mike's instructions on the MAFVA site; that way you will know you have a sample which is matched to original equipment samples.

HTH,
Hanno
