Nightforce fde paint match?

[schmidty3]

Anyone know of a paint that matches a nightforce?

It looks more like a semi metallic matte beige/sand to me versus a FDE.

I'm thinking of sponging on some complimentary accents that match on my next rifle.

I took a screenshot of their Dark Earth Color, dropped it into encycolorpedia and it came out with a hex code of 685D52 (Sherwin Williams SW2084 Potting Shed). You can order paint off from there that matches what you found. That is the easiest way I know how to get somewhat close to a color.

I know you said you were painting, but I went through this drill trying to match cerakote color and chose H-359 SMOKED BRONZE.

Here is an attached comparison that shows the FDE scope, H-359, and the MDT FDE chassis color.

I tried several colors and probably a dozen color mixtures and finally came up with the closest thing you will find.

Below is what I came up with. 50% Magpul FDE 50% Midnight Bronze at 24:1 catalyst. The amount of catalyst drastically changes the color when doing bake on Cerakote. All of these pictures are the same mix in different lighting.
