What color is the green on a "green tip"?

[ratski]

OK, this may sound a bit "out there" but...
With some magazines, I like to spray paint at least the base plates to indicate the type of round that I have in the magazine.
I do this, especially, with my Uzi mags.
Light Blue is training ammo
Red is for +P or +P+ ammo
Purple is for subsonic.

I was looking at my AR mags the other day and wondering what color comes closest to the "green" on the "green tip".
I picked up a can of Rust-oleum gloss Meadow Green.

Close enough? or is there a better match?

Thanks

Dave

As long as you don't need multiple greens I don't think it really matters

I think that about does it.

John Deere green!

I could ask my wife. But then she'd consider about 865 various shades of green and after about a week, narrow it down to about 2 or 3 shades and then say she doesn't think green is the best color and suggest something else.

As long as you know what its for why does it matter.

Your wife and mine would get along.....

I say close enough.

I do the same with powder coat bullets.

Several tears back, I wanted / needed a 5 round .223 mag. Modified a 20 round and painted the bottom for quick identity.

Color doesn't matter, as long as you know the scheme.

I use green electrical tape around the bottom of my glock mags to identify the 40 cal mags, but it could be any color i just had gren handy when i done it and some of my other brand of mags in 40 i have done the same since the 40 mags matches other calibers for the same kind of guns.
