Description:
Frogskin Camo Dark Green is a deep, muted green tone created to replicate the dense jungle camouflage blotches used on the reversible “frogskin” uniforms issued to U.S. Marines during WWII. This shade formed the foundation of the jungle-side pattern, offering concealment in the lush foliage of Pacific Island combat zones.
Frogskin Camo Dark Green is in our set Item #29456 U.S. Army Armor & Infantry WWI to Vietnam and the Item #29503 US Military Acrylic Paint Set, 81 pieces.
Color Description:
Frogskin Camo Dark Green is a low-saturation, cool green with subtle brown undertones, capturing the shadowy depths of tropical vegetation. It was commonly applied in large blotches over Frogskin Camo Light Green to create contrast and visual disruption in the dense canopies and undergrowth of the Pacific Theater. This tone also appears on helmet covers, ponchos, and reversible camo netting.
This color was used prominently in WWII by the U.S. Marine Corps.
• In WWII, it was used as a primary overlay in the jungle-side pattern of the M1942 reversible frogskin camouflage uniform
• Deployed in battles like Bougainville, Guam, and Peleliu where concealment in foliage was vital
• Carried over post-war in limited Marine training gear and influenced later camo development
Modeling Uses

• Use in dense foliage environments, tropical terrain, and jungle ambush dioramas
• Combine with Frogskin Light Tan, Khaki Green, or Olive Drab for layered camouflage realism
