Tan or Green? Multicam and ACU/UCP

I got my full kit UCP/ACU/ARPAT I'm planning on making a second kit -thinking multicam. Question I have is on typical games does ACU/UCP & Multicam fall under the same side in terms of tan vs green?

Both can either be tan or green. MC is great, until you get friendly fire. LOL

I normally see Multicam on the "tan" side for games. Most people locally view it as having more of a lighter tone to it. If you want a "green" loadout go Marpat.

Both can be tan or green? I understand Multicam, but UCP? It may be just me but I don't see the connection...I see it as grey/tan :S

I use acu. And even if I wear a green mask, green hat, green knee pads, and a green vest. They still put me on the tan side.

ACU can be green or tan simply because so few people use it, that people in ACU are usually used to balance the numbers, and it's a really easily identifiable camo.

Well you may consider AOR 1 or 2, looks like marpat (pixelized pattern) with different fades.

Other option I'm waiting to see before I choose : Jungle A-TACS, if not happy I'll make a new multicam.

interesting pattern, but for people that want to do a represented loadout, MARPAT would probably fare better since its widely available

Multicam is considered tan. ACU is an arid camo, but is usually used to balance numbers. You know what bugs me though. Guys who wear proper camo, but it's a different pattern for their pants, tunic, and rig. They choose whatever team they want at milsims. Then you see them and think, am I supposed to shoot this guy? Did the local surplus have a mix and match sale? What's going on here? He has ACU pants, with a tri color tunic, and a woodland IBA.

In future games, these guys should considered their own team. Green team: 78 members, tan team: 75 members, team colorblind: 3 members. We'll put them on a team with the guys wearing jeans and t-shirts with black webbing. That'll bolster their numbers to at least: 5
