Should be the same as the base colour for the 6-colour desert "chocolate chip" camo, which is a not-quite-tan, called "sand."

My reticence to answer right out was caused by the simple fact that manufacturers like to use different names for colours when they can get away with it, and Eagle let slip who his vendor would be. Once I had that, I knew where to look... Our feathered fiend has been out of service for some time now, and was last seen in uniform where it was completely OG507...
