'Olive Drab' is the color
olive shaded
green.
Olive Drab was the color of the standard fighting uniform for U.S. s 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, if any, that still issue Olive Drab uniforms.
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 off-duty uniforms.
