Description:
Frogskin Camo Light Tan is a warm, sandy beige specifically matched to the base tone of the U.S. Marine Corps' WWII-era “frogskin” camouflage pattern. This historical shade was widely used as the light background color in reversible camo uniforms designed for Pacific Island warfare. It represents faded canvas and sun-bleached cloth seen in tropical and arid environments.
Frogskin Camo Light Tan is in our set Item #29456 U.S. Army Armor & Infantry WWI to Vietnam and the Item #29503 US Military Acrylic Paint Set, 81 pieces.
Color Description:
This light tan has subtle yellow and red-brown undertones, creating a natural earth tone that captures the look of bleached tropical fabric. It serves as the lighter base color of the two-sided Marine frogskin uniform, used on the beach and jungle sides. It’s a must-have for historically accurate Pacific Theater Marines, camo fatigues, or faded gear.
This color was prominently used in WWII, especially by the U.S. Marine Corps.
• In WWII, it appeared on the beach-side of the M1942 reversible frogskin camo uniforms used in Tarawa, Saipan, and Iwo Jima
• Also seen on matching helmet covers, ponchos, and ammo vests
• After WWII, surplus gear continued to appear in Korea and early Vietnam in limited roles
Modeling Uses
• Paint USMC reversible camouflage uniforms and helmet covers
• Ideal base for tropical field tents, packs, and beach landing dioramas
• Use as the base layer under Frogskin Camo Green for building the full camo pattern
• Combine with Dust, Dirt, or US Infantry Khaki Tan to simulate UV fading and grime
