well, fwiw, the military is going away from black as it is highly detectable with 3rd gen night vision devices.

PINK
It's flashy, and confuses Haj long enough so that you get that extra second |

OD. Something that you can get accessories easily.
I love my mutlicam, but trying to get the right accessories is a pain. |

The only time I use black gear is when its mandatory, OD green, tan, or best of all is the multicam.
For the western states, I would grab tan without a second thought. |

od or coyote BROWN gear. od is easier to find and match though. bdus are cheaper. you can have a khaki pair and an od pair to suit your ao.

I'm definately throwing in my vote for OD. Here in the Southeast it's definately the most likely of the major colors to blend in. Roll around in the mud with it and you really blend in. Curious, is anybody doing MC pouches over tan or OD vests/carriers?

OD or Coyote/khaki, depending on the overall "tone" of your area.
Lots of folks are buying MC pouches over coyote and khaki. It makes sense to do that because on most MC platforms you see a bunch of khaki or coyote webbing with some MC fabric in between! After working with a lot of gear it ocurred to me that the much vaunted blending capabilities of multicam are somewhat obviated when you cover it with perfectly straight, contrasting colored material. |

OD is my vote.
Seriously, don't overthink it. Tomorrow, as soon as it gets light out, walk outside, and look around. If you see mostly green, buy OD. If you see mostly brown, buy khaki or coyote. |

To me OD or a medium brown would work well just about anywhere. Black Water Gear's khaki looks very good in a catalog, similar to the WWII dark khaki. Where I'm at tan just sticks out too much. I haven't tried multicam yet. MarPat knock offs work well here. BorTac teams in AZ have good success with OD. I know this is jumbled up, but that's how my mind is working right now.

I'd stick with the light browns (Coyote, Khaki,etc) and if needed you can always add the pouches/molle gear in O.D. or a shade darker brown if needed.
I would also ask to see a small color swatch from the company you are purchasing from (or see it in person) so you know thats what you are looking for. I've seen some variances the in shades from some of the "same" colors that come from different vendors. |
