    1.6 hyper d foliage

    Anyone have this color? From the pics it looks as much grey as it does green. I kind of dig it. It that the case in person, out in the sun etc.

    I just recieved this fabric last week. To me it is gray with a green undertone but it is definitely more gray than green. I was hoping for more green than gray.

    Just my opinion.

    I took a chance, but I will still make a nice Foliage GE hammock. May end up giving it to someone so I can order another color. It's all good.

    Here is a recent hammock made with a Charcoal Gray outside layer on the body and a Foliage overcover. This photo doesn't have the best lighting, but you can see under certain conditions the 2 colors are very close.

    The closest I can come to explaining it is like sage or a succulent plant. It's grown on me the more I've worked with it. A lot of people will order both gray and foliage in their sample packs to see the two side by side.

    The basic color is Late WWII/Korean era Foliage Grey. If you’ve ever seen military jackets from that era that are greenish grey, it’s that color. It was replaced by OD green by Vietnam for standard issue.

    It’s seen quite a revival in recent years. Almost all vendors who make Milspec packs now offer that color. But the industry standard name for it is simply ‘Foliage’. It’s my second favorite color in our lineup (Dark Olive being first).
