Vendors are blowing out the Magpul foliage stuff so I ended up buying several AK pistol grips to play around with.
I picked up two colors to mix; "Racing Red" and "Daffodil Yellow". Here's the results:
Left to right:
Foliage grip with 4 caps of Daffodil Yellow
Foliage with 4 caps of Daffodil and 4 caps of Racing red
Sand AR-15 SL grip, 8 caps of Daffodil and 4 of Racing Red
Foliage in same batch as AR-15 grip; 8 caps of Daffodil and 4 of Racing Red
The pictures don't show the complexity of the colors, but the second from left could work as plum, and the last on the right pretty closely matches the Bulgarian brown commercial mags.
The green is interesting; foliage is this bland grey/green baby food color, but with the Daffodil wash it ends up somewhere between OD and avocado.
I'm eventually going to try some different dyes, because I have several more grips left.
