Putting together a "frankenpack" with a Kifaru Hunter frame in Ranger Green and trying to decide on pack color to go with it. I am wanting to mount and EXO 3500 bag but wasn't sure if the greens matched. This is trivial, yes, but I was just curious if they matched? ;)
 
I have an exo lid in RG and a Kifaru MW in RG, colors are pretty close, I don’t think you’ll have a problem with the slight variance, they match up well but not perfect.
 
Can't comment on Exo RG but there is definitely a difference between Ranger Green from Hill People Gear and RG from Kifaru.

The Kifaru is more brown than the one from HPG.
 
I and others have been playing with a lot with mixing RG and CB on packs and I think it looks sweet. I would think about going with CB in one brand and RG in the other as it may result in a pretty cool look.

I had thought of this as well. I'll be ordering a pack today so I need to make up my mind!

Well i ended up completely changing plans when a multicam Reckoning bag popped up on here today. Got that instead of the Exo lol. Looking forward to trying it out!
 
As you mentioned, color matching is definitely trivial but I do understand why some of us want colors to match.

That being said, even if you buy everything from one company you're going to get color variations. When companies purchase different lots of any color there are going to be color variations. I have three or four different colors of coyote brown all from Kifaru. Same with my boys; one has a highlander pack, the other a multi-cam pack. Two or three variations of color on those pack accessories, too.

At the end of the day I don't mind. Especially when the blood soaks through adding yet another layer of mismatched color.

This is why they discontinued Foliage and I think they have gotten better at getting color variation under control now; but the difference between 1000d and 500d CB was quite large. Haven't seen much variation in highlander or MC, but I did have a Mandrake guide lid that had so little green in it that it looked like highlander. Variations in camo are far less noticeable than variations in flat colors though.
