I have used Old Olive, Creamy Caramel, and
Really Rust, Close to Cocoa, and Chocolate Chip. These are what I found matched the Marines cammies. Army can't be that off.
Hope that helps. :D

I haven't done anything using my dh's greens because he's always in desert gear now. I would think old olive would be your best bet.

Jackets are dark green (forest foilage?) and shirts are light green (mellow moss?).

Also, going gray.

OK, I just took my ink pads to DH's dress greens and compared. You aren't going to get a perfect match BUT the closest is Garden green for the jacket/pants and Sage Shadow for the dress shirt.
Forest Foilage had too strong of a blue tint for the jacket/pants and Mellow Moss was too green for the dress shirt.
So, if you use SU inks I'd use Garden green and sage shadow.
Good luck!

I just did the same thing lol - took my markers out and scribbled on US white and held tehm up to my hubby's uniform. You are right - Garden green and sage shadow! And canvas background for the dress shirt - would be perfect :wink: !
