Take a look at fireinthewire's photo and get back to me about pine straw.

Yep hes no where near east TX, but I am. FDE imo could be used in both areas as accent colors or solid if you choose. I'm sure in the shtf situation it would get rattle canned what ever color is needed to match the environment. But as range plinking toys color dont matter. None of us are going into a war zone anytime soon.

The only problem is in building one with different company's parts. They tend to vary in color with some looking pink.

My M&P 45 has an FDE frame. I wanted something different from all of my black handguns. *Shrug* I like it.

That cool if thats what you want.

There actually is a standard for what some call FDE. There is RAL 8000, which some manufacturers achieve and others . . . not so much. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_RAL_colors

I’ve got one of the Canik pistols in FDE, and one of my lightest ARs in ODG. Pretty much everything else is either black or stainless. Oh, I forgot I’ve got two of the special HKPRO “BabyPoop” HK45c pistols.

Hell, you get that buying the same exact paint from the same manufacturer at the same store at different times of the month.

Always buy the amount you need and mix all the cans together. Or have it custom matched every time.

Man.....great picture, the weapon, but especially the backdrop. Where is that? Has to be the caprock or panhandle somewhere.

Thank you sir!

Great country out there. I've hunted over the years from just north of Dickens down to around Polar in far SW Kent County not too far from you.

I am a fan of FDE. I chalk it up to being in the USMC when all of our gear was tan. The only thing FDE I have currently is a magpul stock and forend for my 590A1. Better than plain ole black

Isn’t the tan crayon FDE?

Yep. Never seen anything look pink. But I got two different shades of green on my last build. Magpul stock and Hogue rubberized handgrip. Not too far off, but noticeable.

Think the formal name is coyote brown. Not sure though. I never heard FDE until I was out

I think your right about coyote brown. So, that’s the color for the tan crayon.
