Magpul "FDE" versus CAA "tan" colors?

[glock_this]

anyone out there have/seen/can say the closeness - or not - of magpuls FDE tan color and CAAs claimed "tan" color. Say I want to match some magpul FDE color BUIS to a CAA upg16 "tan" grip.

If you like each makers particular piece of furniture, why not get some Duracoat and paint them all a consistent color, this is an extra step, but it would void any concerns of color matching the furniture.

The Magpul FDE is less saturated (i.e. more gray) than the CAA tan. They do look ok together.

I have some CAA parts in tan and some Magpul FDE stuff... I will take some pics tomorrow comparing them.

thanks... appreciate seeing what you have

those first 2 photos, magpul FDE upper parts/pmag with a tan CAA cheek weld and grip look nearly perfect match?

perfect, that helps a ton and solidifies I can mix all my FDE parts with the UPG16 grip I want.

That top photo actually seems the plastic matches well, but the rubber in the grip is a bit off which frankly, is fine with me and works well.

I appreciate the effort.
