Default Military Glass colors

Hi all--
I am looking for the best color choices of 104 coe glass in military colors--army green, khaki tan, Marine Corps blue, etc. Opaque only please, unless you know a transparent that works well over another opaque. I'll be ordering glass soon and don't want pounds and pounds of the wrong colors!
I appreciate any and all suggestions--thank you from my heart!
Smiles, Sheri

Hum. Maybe Vetrofond Yellow Ocher for army green?

If you haven't tried it/got it I can send you a couple rods to check out.

For my military camouflage beads for Beads of Courage, I use the following colors:
Army/Marine Corps Woodland pattern--Base CIM Army Men, Commando or Olive, black, brown and CIM Stone Ground;
Desert pattern--base of Effetre Dark Ivory, brown and CIM Khaki, although I think CIM may have discontinued that one. You could use CIM Stone Ground instead.
Navy--I've had real trouble getting the Navy camo right. I've been using CIM Glacier, Leaky Pen and Effetre Raven Sky, but finding the right smoky blue has been really difficult.
I also tumble the beads to give them a subdued surface. Sorry this picture is not very good.
