As Pete points out, Pinks and Greens were for officers. The enlisted uniforms of the period weren't nearly as "flattering". If they want to bring back a "retro" uniform for Class B wear, my vote goes for TWs (en lieu of khakis).

A nation can survive its fools, and even the ambitious. But it cannot survive treason from within. An enemy at the gates is less formidable, for he is known and carries his banner openly. But the traitor moves amongst those within the gate freely, his sly whispers rustling through all the alleys, heard in the very halls of government itself. For the traitor appears not a traitor; he speaks in accents familiar to his victims, and he wears their face and their arguments, he appeals to the baseness that lies deep in the hearts of all men. He rots the soul of a nation, he works secretly and unknown in the night to undermine the pillars of the city, he infects the body politic so that it can no longer resist. A murderer is less to fear.

I agree the TWs were the best office work uniform ever.

Also on the list of those glad for never having to endure that current blue abomination, and being satisfied with basic OD utilities or jungle fatigues; on parade that blue thing it looks kind of like Salvation Army-Auxiliary (not meant disparagingly toward the SA but I've had to answer questions at holidays on main street to answer "now who are those guys...?").
