Well...for something such as this, I would say that you have a lot of room to roam around in...there are 'established' colours, but you must consider the wear to the vehicle and what you want to do (is the paint really faded, is the vehicle burnt out, is it a little dusty or whatever) and where it's at (Tunisia or Lybia/Libya (however the heck you spell it lol))...I mean, no two vehicles were exactly the same...so ogically, it's possible to conclude the use of virtually any and all colours within that 'range' could be used...dark yellow, tan, sand, 'afrika mustard', buff(?), etc....It just depends on what you want...there is no 'real' exact colour...

If it's too orange though, then you know you have a problem lol ;-)
