Tango Down and VLTOR have the same color match for both their OD and their Coyote. Magpul's color is a different shade on both the OD and the Coyote. I can't speak for Knights stuff.

Our OD has always been set to match Cav Arms OD which was matched to Armalite's OD
When we first looked at tan the standard tan was too light and pinkish so we found some material close to a cardboard box and made items out of this called desert tan. After seeing Coyote Brown in real life we decided to move all desert tan products to this color. Jeff and Eric (from TD and Vltor) did call me up asking if I would like to "buy in" material with them so we would all match but only a small part of items we make use the same material that TD and Vltor use extensivly (Glass Filled Nylon 6). Also the tan that Vltor and TD use is really "Flat Dark Earth" based upon a milspec color, not the darker Coyote Brown which I first saw released by Cav Arms. If color coordination is important to you there is always spray paint. Hey Wes, Got your email and will reply soon. Been a bit swamped here. |

Any of you guys ever here of a Spectrodesitometer!!!
It's used in the printing industry to measure color. it would let a company take one piece of equiptment and measure it and then use that info to match another piece. makes life easy and takes the guess work out of matching. (or if all you industry guys just want to send me a free sample, I'll measure it for ya and fax ya the results)

i think Magpul has the right idea....matching their stuff with already established standards. every company interpreting OD Green and Coyote Brown differently seems kind of pointless, since Armalite and Cav Arms (respectively) did it the right way first....

Call me strange, but I actually prefer that the colors don't match. I don't go out of my way to match or not match my gear, but I like the way it looks when the various accessories are different shades of the same color or varying colors that just go together well.
