I tried it with brown dye to try and tone down the lighter colors. It resulted in a "blurple"uniform.

Here is a pictorial I did over the summer.
 A closeup of the ACU's:  Left to right is Tan with a little dark brown, Standard un-dyed ACU, and ACU with Tan. Since then I have taken many many more, but I'm kinda pressed for time at the moment. If you want I can post more pics of them taken during summer and fall with comparisons to other camos. Ill try to check back tomorrow if you're interested. -K |

the ones one the far right look really good. The people in charge of camo for the army are as bad as any other bureaucrats in the government.

Thanks Special-K. That's exactly what I was looking for. I was wanting to see if I could make them more of a darker woodland-ish green. Have you tried that yet?

I did but they went so dark its one dark green blob. cant even see the camo effect I have had 'decentish' results in mixing 3/4 of a bottle of Tan and 1/4 bottle of Dark Green, but it wasn't spectacular. As above, if you go too green it becomes a blob. I would consider 1/2 Tan and 1/2 Dark Green, or maybe 2/3 Tan and 1/3 Dark Green. -K |

Not to hijack, but that's pretty freaking amazing what a cheap dye job does with that ACU. Makes it almost that much more dumbheaded why they chose that in the first place.
Nice Post Special K |
