υπήρχαν ειδικές περιπτώσεις που όντως υπήρχε ενα πολύ σκούρο Black-Green, πχ V-100 Commando της Military Police
κατα κανόνα υπήρχε πιο ανοικτό "Olive Drab"

Vietnam era OD was supposed to be essentially the same pigments as the WW2 shade, but in a semigloss lacquer, which "reads" darker than flat shades. Starting in the Eisenhower years, some divisional commanders favored adding black to the basic paint, simply because they liked the look (rank hath its privileges), so side by side vehicles could be drastically different colors (I've seen very dark M48A3's next to standard OD M113's for instance).
In 1965, the Army introduced a new, lighter, warmer, Flat Olive Drab for helicopters, replacing the dark gloss shade seen earlier (it's possible that Flat Olive Drab paint intended for aviation uses could turn up elsewhere in the supply chain). This next step has caused endless grief for historical modelers in the last forty years. In 1967, the General Services Administration altered the official paint chip for Olive Drab in its FS 595 color book, FS 34087, to match the new, lighter aviation color, and this is the paint chip that nearly all model paint companies have used to match their Olive Drab, which is why they are mostly useless for depicting ground vehicles, unless a very faded or "scale affected" shade is desired.
Steve Zaloga reports that the Tamiya color is very close to the color chip for No. 9 Olive Drab, as seen during World War Two, though it could be lightened with Dark Yellow to allow for scale effect. As mentioned, for postwar US vehicles, the Tamiya Japanese Self Defense Force Olive Drab is a reasonable match.
All versions of Olive Drab disappeared from 1974, when the needlessly complicated MERDC camouflage system was introduced (four colors were used at a time, but there were twelve to choose from--it was supposed to be adaptable to multiple environments), though it took several years to get all equipment repainted. By the early 1980's, many units had thrown up their hands and given up on pattern painted equipment, leaving tanks and other AFV's in the factory delivery color FS 34079 Dark Green. Later in the decade, the new three-color NATO scheme was introduced, and this is still used in temperate zones.

There is a reason for brown Cold War OD. 24087/1956 has a very complicated lineage. It began in 1956 as a medium greyish green semigloss OD*. 24087 had the same hue, but was lighter than the corresponding 34087 & 14087 of 1956. 24087/1956 was a continuation of the 202 green OD from the 1943 chart, and a departure from the brown semigloss 2430 of the 1950 chart. In 1959, a new color, X24087 was issued, and was a return to the brown 2430 hue of 1950, but X24087 was an even deeper brown. However, 24087/1956 never completely died with the creation of X24087 in 1959, and the 1956 24087 was reissued in 1960 in index card size only (all the colors of 1956 inc. 14087 & 34087 were reissued in 1960 this way). Yet, the military orders throughout the 1960's (even after 595A activated in 1968) called for X24087 to be the standard base coat unless 24064 was to be used under seperate orders. This 24064 would have been the 1956 color, and not the 1968-today color. The 1956 24064 was similar, but had more chroma in it as opposed to our current color, which has more grey. The 1956 24064 was really just a darker shade of 1956 24087. My personal guess is that the standard color used in Vietnam was X24087 painted stuff repainted in 24064/1956 (I would love to hear comments on that).
In 1968 the 595A came out which had a new 24087 and was close to the 1959 X24087. However, it was different in that the hue was shifted s l i g h t l y towards green, but it doesn't jump out at you because the color itself is so dark. It was probably intended to be the same, but color matching being what it is...
Anyway, the summary is that in 1950, the brown semigloss 2430 was replaced by a medium greyish green semigloss 24087 in 1956. In 1959, the brown X24087 was born and was (on paper anyway) the mandated standard finish on tactical vehicles. In 1960, the entire range of 1956 colors was reprinted, so in 1961 for example, three 24087 color standards were floating around (1956, 1959, & 1960) of which two were the same, but the different one (X24087) was considered standard throughout the decade...unless 24064/1956 was specifically called for under seperate order. In 1968, a new 24087 was issued which was kind of like the 1959 color, but had a slight element of green to it, and who knows how long it took this color to be implemented in paint factories as even post-1968 documents still call for X24087.
So many color standards, many overlapping, lot's of confusion at the time, so many paint factories, color matching iffy...the best color reference is really the paint in your can. I'd love to hear more details on your can of paint.
*the FS595 1956 binder chips are too light & misleading...it's better to convert the xyY (rear of card standard) to Munsell to visualize the color.
και η πρόταση :
The best color out of the bottle is Tamiya XF-74. It is listed as JSDGF Olive Drab
