10.5" AR pistol color of choice?

[slingshot77]

I have some ideas but I thought I would ask the group here as this site has some progressive out-of-the-box thinkers. Possibly someone has a idea that I would like better than my thoughts are leaning towards.

After training and beating my AR's around all summer I have one particular 10.5" AR that looks worse than my old M-16 looked when I turned it in to Uncle Sam back the 1960's. Time to get this one re-coated.

I'm basically looking for a solid color (I think) that doesn't look outrageous, fits into it's usage category, and something that puts a smile on my face.

I have enough coyote & sand colored guns, I sort of like some of the darker greens but have seen some pretty ugly green ones, I don't want pinks, reds, bright blues, or trendy bright colors. Just a good solid dullish (not black or sand) that looks appropriate on a short AR.

Any ideas, or better yet, pictures?

O.D green. I have pistol and rifle in O.D , they look sharp.

OD green is a solid choice as Crawdaddio mentioned. I'm also a big fan of the "bronze" cerakote color and the Daniel Defense style tornado grey on an AR, it's a bluish-grey.

I'd go standard black on the gun with foliage green furniture. Or maybe a few different shades of green/brown to break up the shape of the gun a bit. For example, a forest brown lower, lighter tan upper, foliage handguard, grip, stock/brace. Or if you want all one colour, foliage all the way.

Can you tell I like foliage?

Look up “midnight bronze” cerakote

Sounds like the bronze colors are up your alley. I personally like burnt bronze.

I know you said no bright blue but I recently saw a blue titanium on tje primary arms website that seemed right.

Thanks for the info, I looked at some burnt oranges & even have a .22 pistol in that color but just can't seem to warm up to that color on an AR. (maybe seeing one in person might sway me)

So, I guess I'm probably back to the greens of some sort or another.
