I wonder if anyone on the list knows what the modern equivalent of the British "sand" color is and is there anyway I can get a color reference. This was used on vehicles by the British 8th Army in the North African Western Desert during the early '40's. As well as the color, does anyone now where I can get the paint in the US. I don't need a huge amount, just enough for a jeep.

Thanks,
