Not a silly question. I've always been confused about what was the official color of OD. Olive = green, right? Drab= dirt, maybe?

Many field uniforms were various shades of GREEN but some jackets such as the tanker jackets & Mackinaws were light TAN then other soldiers wore the BROWN winter uniforms.

I've only been studying the US Uniforms in detail within the last year or two. It appears that the shade varied by the manufacturer.

 

The Free French also wore OD with thier stripes on it. Some had no stripes, Lucky GIs could pass off as French!

I'm not sure if I follow that. I guess I also don't understand why a GI would want to impersonate a Frenchie.
