The overall drab of the modern US Army helicopter fleet. US Army Helo Drab FS 34031 has been the standard single colour on most US Army helicopters from the mid-1980s into the 2020s, and it also finished Israeli AH-64A and UH-60 machines in the mid-1990s. If you're building a modern Apache or Blackhawk, this is the colour it wears.
