Every now and again, I like to finish a collection of figures. Sometimes Airfix, sometimes not! I am taken with the extent to which YouTube videos appear to influence colours, particularly for 'whole forces'. I am conscious of just how great a variation in unifotm colour can be, especially where the basic uniform is a died cotton eg Japanese WWII or North Korean (of the 1950/53 war), Thinking of the Korean War, the North Korean land forces are said, by a major source) to have worn a khaki-greenish uniform that rapidly faded to a 'light yellow'. Having seen the uniform displayed in the Imperial War Museum, it appears a khaki-grey but may very well be 'as issued' and not subjected to harh sunlight. I know that the bright Korean sun bleached this to what has been termed a 'light yellow', and have noted how this has become the default colour quoted for painting small scale models of north Korean troops. As most troops would have been issued with the 'khaki-greenish' uniform to start, then wouldn't this be the predominant colour to have featured in the field, accepting that some troops may well have displayed a more faded (yellowish-mustard) appearance? And where unit casualties were made good 'in the field' wouldn't uniforms within unit have varied fairly significantly at any one time? I occassionally complete units of Japanese fighting men, and introduce a slight variation in uniform colour to reflect the difference between 'old sweats' and recently joined soldiers. I invite comment as to what colour to depect North Korean units in around the summer periods where cotton based uniforms would have been worn.
