I like the eBay tan 499 for the contrast. The A2Z green would blend well.
Olive should NOT be a color.
These are olives...which color do you choose?

New pack fabric. What trim colors goes good with it?
Acquired 2 yards of this, because it looked more olive in the Ebay photos than it does... "BP"Green, 500D Cordura, in upper right corner
![Grey Rectangle Tints and shades Wood Woolen]()
Clockwise from BP Green, Rockywoods 500D Ranger Green, Ebay 500d Camo 483, and Ebay 420D uncoated Ranger Green (looks more like old dark olive of ALICE era)
![Bag Sleeve Eyewear Leather Denim]()
Trim options from top to bottom;
Coyote Brown- bog standard color
Defense Acquisitions Ranger Green -closer to what Safariland uses for SPEAR ELCS
A2Z Tactical Ranger Green -best match to Rockywoods RG fabric
A2Z Tactical Camo Green 483-closer to whats found on some woodland Point Blank made MOLLE IBAs
Ebay Tan 499-great with tan 499/khaki and tan 499 buckles, best fit to Multicam
OD7 ebay-more like 1970s ALICE/M67 gear webbing, fits Taiwan 420D woodland
Black-basic, most common civilian gear trim.
I am considering building a small ruck with no MOLLE, and fixed pockets based on this pack layout. Either Fireforce USA's internal frame insert, or 1609 U shaped frame with basic belt with Nalgene sized water bottle pockets, not sure yet

I know. We used to get paint in the motor pool, because we had the POL point, and the trucks. The drivers used it to touch things up, and before major inspections, they used a lot, because the paint was ALWAYS a different shade, so the vehicles looked like FleckTarn green black and and brown camo. They'd slap one coat of each color on each matching camo block to make it all match, and after a few times of this, the lug nuts would end up looking like round head rivets, they'd have to chip a half inch of paint off to get a wrench onto them.I'm just going off the shades of green the US military offered from the 1940s-1960slol
I was hoping for this specific shade seen on the vest but its apparently a different "BP" than Border Patrol

It certainly is closer to olive/camo green than to teal which this fabric is more of a teal color, I'll snap some pics of it in natural light to show what I mean and this is the Ebay listing for it

Understand though, the seller has been pretty accurate on other fabrics like Coyote brown, and tan499 webbing and the other camo green 483 webbing that I used on my custom woodland body armor.

Indeed. The fact I have two to three different shades of "Ranger Green" fabrics and webbing, 2 shades of Camo Green 483 webbing, and slight variations of tan 499 hardware and webbings... (tan499 and Coyote Tan technically are the same color but different companies have different dyes)
Even Tactical Tailor have had differing shades of greens on their items, I was fortunate to have had a local source of 1000D cordura that was a very close match to TT's newer green shades. Seattle Fabrics have 500D and 1000D cordura in "Olive Green" that might be a good match to the older TT gear, but its a bit pricey ($50 minimum order)
Of interest is that recently, woodland Cordura is pretty much identical to the MOLLE woodland fabrics.. unlike the Taiwan 420D woodland
lolNatural light with sun spots and shadows; looks closer to either Forest Green or a mix of dark Spruce and Hunter greens
