There is no "one size fits all" cammy. Color/Patern variations occur within a country, much less the world. While much of the Middle East appears to be Mud Yellow on TV it's not.
Some of the mountain areas would require almost a solid real dark brown, moving through lighter molted shades down to a solid real light tan in some areas of the flats.
Throw in woodlands around the world and you get the same thing in the green shades.
"One size fits all" don't!
We played with uniforms in the late 70s and early 80s before we started getting the first pattern desert uniform. We ended up with Khakis for day time and real faded jungle cammies for night. We never got any static from HQ over field uniforms. We knew in 83 that the Choc-Chip was too light for most areas.
