I realize it no longer a fad & in some locations superior but it is so ugly like baby poop.
I prefer OD green, or classic black. civince me I'm wrong without using the words tier 1 or operator |
|
Have you told @FlatDarkEarth how you feel?
I actually like the color but own nothing in it. |
|
Every tree and grass has some brown in it, as does most stone, and dirt.
Very few of these are black or OD green. |

While I’m not sick of it, I’d like to see more dye ready, white polymer options from all manufacturers.
|
|
I really like FDE, and I'm a fan of Black & Tans as well.
A.W.D. |

Can't say that I hate it but I certainly wouldn't pick it first, OD green, grey, black, FDE in that order.
|
|
Maybe if they only came in pink the left would not be so afraid of them.
|
|
I don't mind the color, but hate the marketing gimick names.
flat dark earth = light brown. scorched earth = black. olive drab = drab olive color. foliage green = blue agave green (seriously, what kind of foliage other than blue agave looks like foliage green?) |
|
I always wondered where the "Dark" came from. Around here if our soil looks like that, we call it sand.
|
|
I built a .22lr AR with an FDE stock, grip and rail. Everything else is black. It gets a lot of compliments at the range.

Fuck FDE. Now Geissele DDC, DD FDE and KAC taupe on the other hand...

I've got some FDE guns. Not my favorite, but they were different than all the black guns I have. Meh
|
|
|
Better then Krylon.....
Then listed on the EE for no discount..... |
|
I buy the color on sale. Last thing a perp is going to care about is if they got smoked by AR with FDE or ODG furniture.
|
|
More like Wet Beach Sand, but that probably wouldnt sell well
I like it for my area, makes for a good base to paint on |

It looks like baby shit brown to me.
I much prefer OD or black. |
|
I like it best when none of the parts quite match. I'm working an a FDE/DDC build right now.

In my area, OD green and black are better for operations and hunting. I had a FDE Bushy AR once but sold it. Mainly because it was a Bushy that did not like steel ammo.
FDE is good for desert areas and if I lived in one, I would use that color. However, I am quite tired of the whole War on Terror colors that all manufacturers are wanting to make their guns in. The G19X and the original Marine CQB 1911 are examples. I get that the military could use that color but I wish they would offer the same gun in "normal" colors such as black, gray, and OD. Colt finally started making the Marine 1911 in black and I like it much better. Too much FDE. It is getting old. Much like our wars. |
|
I like it. One of my Glock 19's, my G43, two of my SBR's, and my Polymer80 frame (when LoneWolf gets around to sending me the right one) are all in FDE.
But, I also have an AR in foliage, two in OD, and 5 in black. |
|
I voted operator to the 4th power. It’s a good color and I like it.
|
|
Would not choose it over black for anything.
Waiting for G19X in black. Fuck FDE |
|
Has anybody ever been shot because their black rifle stood out?
|
|
The problem is nailing down exactly what color FDE actually is. It's like women's fucking shoe sizes, every fucking idiot manufacturer has their own stupid fucking idea what shade FDE should be. I've seen everything ranging from a light tan to fucking chocolate fucking brown.
I like Coyote Brown, Flat Dark Erf, Field Drab but I like darker earth colors anyways. |
|
I actually really like any of the colors that aren't black. I would love to have a Grey/Gray or OD rifle.
I see all black rifles and envision cheezy 80's riot police chickenwinging a Remington 870 on CNN. The GWOT has kinda jaded me (and my generation) on this though. I love the 3 color SCAR 17. |
|
I have warmed up to FDE and like the way it blends with dried grass land.
What is called OD green is much darker and better looking than real olive drab or puke green. I don't associate the new OD with .mil. FDE does remind me of the chocolate chip camo. |
|
I'm a fan of foliage green. I think it's better than OD green. It's green during the day and at night it resembles more
of a natural shadow gray |
|
I'll take if for cheap. Prefer OD or UDE in a general sense. If I had the option to go back in time, I'd get my VP in grey.
