Could you proud owners of the REAL L96A1 tell me which color is the closest one in DuraCoat green lineups?
I am guessing one of 2-Woodland Green, 9-AUG Green, 17-Sniper Green, and 123-Sako Green.
First off, I have learned to be slightly skeptical of "color matching" due to variations in the appearance (visual variations in how we perceive colors), monitor settings, lighting, and then the actual item (aging, and the "green" varies by which surface we look at). So, taking my best stab at your request, using the receiver as the basis for comparison:
2/Woodland--not enough green
9/AUG--too much olive drab
17/Sniper--too dark
123/Sako--too dark
87/FN--best match

I hope that helps!
