I'm making the last of 3 quilts for my boys who've served in the Army. The first one wanted the digital camo with the red and white from his insignia.:

The next one wanted black and blue with his multicam fabric that the Army changed to between him and his brother.:

My youngest and I have decided that the last one will be totally monotone. I'm even going to do his insignia in camo colors. Here's the tough part: I can't find the official Army camo colors in a cotton fabric and I don't want to do a quilt out of Nylon cordura! So, before I trek through the storm this weekend to a bunch of quilt shops, do any of you have a kona swatch set? I'm looking for Coyote Brown, Tan 499 , Ranger Green and Olive Drab. If anyone knows what color names Robert Kauffman uses for those colors, I could just order it online! Thanks for any help you can offer!

I have both the RK Kona cards and the Moda Bella solids card. I am glad to help but I am sorry I don't understand what you need me to do??

If all else fails you might try a thrift shop/flea market for actual fatigues. These would be the exact colors you need. Many times you can find the fatigues inexpensively.

I sent you a PM with color number/names!

I also have a RK color chart. There are 9 shades of brown, Olive green are Avocado, Moss and Ivy and 9 shades of Tan. You might take a look at Fabric Shack or Hancock of Paducah to see the colors available. You can even go to RK website:

Also, if you take a piece of the fabric that you want to match into a store that carries Kona solids, most of the time they have the color charts. A lot of stores will be happy to let you use it to match your fabric.
