Hi Troy and welcome to MLU. I am not the expert on what color went where, BUT if you can get a sample of the color or Code #, I may be able to help you out. Hopefully a "Mr Love" will chime in!
Cheers....Robert (Vancouver)

I hope I can get a code from someone here . I've contacted a couple military museums and the suggestion was to ask here . Hopefully someone can help me out . I found a supplier in the uk that has khaki green 3 but the amount to have it shipped because it's considered hazardous is unreal. I was hoping someone in b.c. could sell me a couple liters or help me out with the code so I can get it mixed myself.

Troy: If your contact in the UK has a large DRY sample, tell them to send it here and I can have it matched. Any product....anytime! So where are you located in BC?
Cheers.....Robert

If you google khaki green no3 there are some decent colour swatches and comparisons with other khaklis, but then again the colours will only be as good as your monitor settings.

Rob: Best bet is to either get an actual dry sample from a reputable mfg in the UK....someone that everyone agrees with, that it IS the right colour (and that is something that I don't ever think will be resolved) and have it sent here and we can take it from there. Took your advice and googled the colour and it's all over the map. No jabs at you or anyone on the forum....but paint colours seem to be one of those dilemmas that none of us will ever resolve! Period!!

Hang in there Troy....we're not finished with you yet! Robert

Even the military seemed to change it's specs. At one point, the government of Canada tossed the CGSB paint codes. I was looking up the obsolete olive drab paint the other day and noticed the Cdn army had then jumped over to a US paint chip specification for it, while still referring to the obsolete Cdn colour as well.
