Olive Drab is the color olive shaded green. Olive Drab was the color of the standard fighting uniform for U.S. GIs and tanks during World War II. U.S. soldiers often referred to their uniforms as "OD's" due to the color. There are very few countries still issuing Olive Drab uniforms, Israel and Austria being the exceptions. The color is currently defined by the FS-595 paint standard.[1][2] As a solid color, it is not as effective for camouflage as multiple-color camo schemes (i.e. US Army Combat Uniform, tigerstripe, MARPAT, Multicam, etc.), though it is still used by the U.S. military to color webbing and accessories. The military refers to the color as Olive Green 107, or more commonly OG 107.[3]
