Does anyone know the "exact" color names for the colors on the Mcmillan A5 Desert Camo stock? I asked Mcmillan but they said they made those colors in the 1980s and said they named them light tan- medium tan- dark tan. Not so much help. I emailed NIC cerakote to see if they ever had to mix colors to match. Im sure they did sometime. Just wondering if anyone knows.
I know the NIC Cerakote Flat Dark Earth just about matches the dark color.
I know the NIC Cerakote Coyote Tan kinda(would need lightened up) matches the base color.
Have no Idea what that light greenish color is tho. Maybe lighten up some OD green maybe.
Thanks for the help.
Im trying to get it perfect match. I HATE DEALING WITH COLORS!!!!
 
Re: Stock color question

Forget names. Get a Pantone color. Also note that surface texture and light source affect color if going for exact match.

Good luck.
