As the title suggests, what do you use for olive drab? What I'm after:
1. I don't want to mix my own. If you have a recipe that is like, "base coat with this, then highlight with this", that's fine, but I don't want to have to mix two wet paints together to get the single final paint.
2. I know it is a range - I'm looking for the most bog standard infantry uniform (as opposed to field equipment) green. Nothing flashy, on the green end of the color spectrum rather than khaki, but dull, something that says, "expendable, countless millions have died wearing this color of uniform".
3. Edit: Oh yeah, brush paint, not airbrush.

Thanks for any suggestions!

It’s not going to help, but I use an old pot of GW’s Goblin Green. Long out of print, and getting sludgy. I need a replacement myself.

I like Vallejo US Dark Green (70.893)
It's a solid, only slightly drab, green. I then use an oil wash which stains the whole model slightly darker.

I use a GW Caliban Green as a base and then drybrush/highlight with GW Loren Forest:

Vallejo Russian Green and Vallejo US Olive Drab are good bets
