British Army Uniform Colour WWII

[goon 811]

Hi Gang,

I have some lovely metal Dad's Army mini-figures to paint. The problem is I can't match a colour by eye to save my life! Which paint / colour should I be using for WWII British Army uniforms? (Sorry if it's asking the bleeding obvious but my inability to pick / recognise colours really holds me back sometimes )

 

Thanks,

Gareth

The specified colour was Khaki, but that varied per dye lot, material the uniform was made from, age and the quality of the light it was seen in. It was a kind of brownish/greenish colour. Tamiya XF-49 Khaki is a good starting point. Then add a drop or 2 of white, black or green to vary it a bit.
