Color Description
US Desert Camo Light Tan is a flat, pale tan with subtle beige undertones, chosen by the U.S. military to blend effectively into desert and arid environments. It became a key camouflage tone in the late 20th century as operations shifted from temperate zones to the Middle East, reflecting evolving tactical needs and terrain-specific concealment strategies.

This color was widely used in the U.S. military from the 1980s to the present day.
• During Operation Desert Storm in1991, it was the primary base color for U.S. tanks, APCs, and uniforms in the iconic three-tone desert camouflage scheme.
• In the Iraq War and Afghanistan, this tone remained integral to the color palettes of vehicles, tents, and personal gear.
• It continues to influence modern digital and transitional desert camo used by U.S. forces and allies.

Modeling Uses
• Paint desert-modified vehicles such as the M1 Abrams, Humvees, and MRAPs
• Finish modern soldier figures in desert uniforms with weathered sun-fade effects
• Use for tents, canvas gear, sandbags, and urban rubble in desert dioramas
• Combine with Desert Sand, Flat Brown, and Light Gray for layered desert weathering and realism
