Shit choices because it all depends what kind of environment you'll be wearing it in (LOL almost said "operating in"...).

But Coyote Brown will blend into a woodland environment better than green in a desert setting. But, then again, Ranger Green is more slimming...

Same here. There is a lot of vegitation here, but it is only green for a few months. Brown/ tan works better here in more places and for longer than green does. Neither blend in with snow.

This is what it looks like in the spring and fall. In the summer the leaves are so thick you could almost hide in blaze orange.

As long as the colors are in the woods for you to match that seems ideal. M

I voted ranger green although coyote would work as well and better in the winter sans snow. What coyote brown resembles is the color of deer so I avoid it as I don’t want to look like a deer in deer season. Too many stupid bastards in the woods then.

Meh, most of the animals wear brown and disappear in the woods quite well... Most of my stuff is FDE/coyote brown if its not a normal camo pattern...Wouldnt mind the green though either..Either will work fine out there in the woods if you need too hide it by breaking up the patter/shape with natural vegetation in the area added to the object...

Not sure who made that map but it's wrong. Marpat doesn't work out in the desert of eastern WA, OR or southern Idaho, multicam works better out here.

Coyote, since nothing is green here in the winter and even in the summer most open ground will be brown.

Grey works shockingly well in the woods here. Tree trunks and rocks don't change with the seasons.

Both are ATS war belt sleeves. The tan inner belt is an Emdom / Milspec Monkey. The green inner belt is an Ares.

I prefer coyote. I've got ATACS-AU, ATACS-FG, Multicam, and desert tan clothing, and CB goes with all of it. Here in Saudi, you don't really need camo. Plain coyote tan or khaki works just fine.

ETA: CB also works back home in the Philippines with the FG. It's the same color as most dried SE Asian mud. It would be REALLY close to the mud in my old stomping grounds in Cambodia. And there was always plenty of it.

A whole lot of environments average out to something similar to ranger green, even many of the dry ones.

The darker coyote tan stuff tends to be a bit too saturated.

Those videos only show the reality that both colors are easily spotted. Colors and camo have limits and only well done ghillie suites and well prepared positions make people invisible.

Flecktarn works really well around here (SE Ohio) in the fall. Multicam Tropic might work better right now, although I'm still a fan of woodland.

As far as solid colors go, South African nutria brown is cool, kind of like a darker Coyote. I've got an SADF bush hat like Brent's wearing in this vid that I like a lot.

Coyote brown, although sometimes some manufacturers produce a CB that's too orange though. It needs to be more subdued. I think Arc'teryx crocodile is my favorite. It's kind of a mix between coyote brown and olive drab and looks green, brown, or even grey depending upon lighting conditions. If I had my own military, that's what color they would use.

Coyote as a general rule. There is brown everywhere.

Woodland Marpat worked fine at camp pendleton, and it would work fine there.

Well if you are referring to stains on your undies I would go with coyote brown.
