Seriously, Olive or more like Olive Drab to me.

 

[Guest]

Well I'm colour blind but I have to agree it is a lovely shade of pink, being a confident guy I could see you pulling that colour off.

 

[Guest]

Looks like olive drab to me to but five parts Vallejo model air camo green to one part white is close. Whatever, I love it to.

I'd ask for my money back...... Now paint it the correct colour!!!!'

 

[Guest]

Thanks for the reply's I think , for all you haters of the colour I'm afraid to say that when I get around to building my Aston Martin DBS these are the colours I will be using

 

[Guest]

Its an Aston does the colour really matter !!!! No seriously its like Marmite love it or hate it and I think its beautiful. Looks like a satin olive drab or khaki.

What you really need is access to the car, then give it a few dabs of your best guesses until you get just the right shade.

 

[PaulTRose]

id call it RAL6029 or something close


im sure a woman would call it pea pod or grasshopper green or mellow pistachio or something silly

If i had to match it i would say tamiya nato green xf 67 i think off the top pf my bonce . I think the car looks great , i love different

 

[Tom Rigg]

Aston Martin? I think that's a Ford Mustang!

 

[spanner570]

Colour wise, I haven't a clue, but it's great to see a sensibly coloured fast car.....One that can easily be seen on a green, tree lined country road!

 

[Guest]

Well its not olive drab as I have tried it and its nowhere near

 

[Tom Rigg]

According to the 'Roush' website it's matt military green. Probably a custom colour, or something similar to modern US equipment.

I'd call it "Look at my macho pretend military green that makes me look so tough!"

 

[colin m]

Vallejo would probably call it something like "red sunset"

Well it looks very much like RLM 82 to me I've been using mr color with their mr levelling thinner and I reckon those two in conjunction with a Matt varnish wouldn't be far off at all.
