HBO ThePacific

RE: HBO ThePacific
Here's a question I have about The Pacific that I hope someone here can answer: Were the USMC's vehicles (note the DUKW's and jeeps especially) really painted a shade of green that almost looks Kelly green, rather than olive drab? Am I the only one who sees it?

I can't imagine that this wasn't well researched, given the team involved and their attention to detail. It just struck me that as much color pics/video I've seen of the pacific war (in general) I've never seen this color. I've seen Navy stuff painted that blueish gray, camo vehicles, etc. But never this green color that is most definitely NOT olive drab. I think even one of the tanks in one episode was painted this way.

One of you armored vehicle club guys knows the answer to this. It's buggin' the crizzap outta me.
