Most major companies are all switching, or have already switched to the new mil color.  The bigger question at this point for you may be making sure that you are looking at new stock and color, as opposed to older stock and color.

Most AR15 products aren't cheap, I see nothing wrong with getting what you want.  If you were getting ready to deploy in a couple days, I might give you the "who cares, just get what you need" reply, but not when there isn't a time crunch.  I look at what rail panels go for, and sometimes think I should have invested in that........




Was there something in particular you were looking for, or just figuring in general?
