I can see this as the starting point you also have to realize the color of the leather will add to the mix as most color mixing programs rely an a white background or an opaque color combination. good luck I would love to see the outcome! An application of neatsfoot oil will also change the color. I have to take that into consideration as well. Quote www.bearriverholsters.com
Members steelhawk Posted February 13, 2020 Author Members Report Posted February 13, 2020 I was able to get close to the OD green color by using 1 part black and 6 parts yellow. 1 in 9 parts is also close. Turns out the customer doesn't own the gun yet, so there is no order placed. In a couple of weeks I'll take a trip to a few larger gun stores and take my sample with me to compare colors and see which is the best match. Quote www.bearriverholsters.com
