Conor5921 Posted December 19, 2017 Posted December 19, 2017 As stated, what would be the best? Ranger Green with multicam or mandrake?
Supporters Gepard Posted December 19, 2017 Supporters Posted December 19, 2017 Personally, neither. Green on green will look great though. End of the day as long as you like it pick whichever.
AshOnSnow Posted December 19, 2017 Posted December 19, 2017 My personal opinion, mandrake. It’s a much better choice than Multicam, especially for UK foliage, I swear by it. But try and get the mandrake carrier too!
MILITATED Posted December 19, 2017 Posted December 19, 2017 Coyote brown/tan is probably a better suited combo to multicam, in terms of looks. Ranger green would be better suited to Mandrake. As stated above though, a ranger green plate carrier on a ranger green top is going to look much better.
Skara Posted December 19, 2017 Posted December 19, 2017 Judging by the request I guess you already bought the carrier.. Green goes well with everything, it's just a matter of how effective a camouflage is. Choose the one that blends in the most in your field. Even if it's pink.
Immortal Posted December 19, 2017 Posted December 19, 2017 Ranger green with multicam given the choice, the mandrake maybe a bit clashy. I did a Ranger green carrier with MTP but changed to just mtp on mtp... it just wasn't quite right. The green was too strong. Ranger green may look good on Tiger stripe or as Gepard said; green on green. But the right green Better yet, green on green upper and camo trousers....

I haven't already bought it, im just trying to get something that will look good and be effective, I really like the look of multi cam with coyote tan but I have a green LVOA-S and not sure it would match, and also I'm not sure how multicam with tan plate carrier would suit my local, it's half woodlands and half little wooden shacks etc.

Agree with the above. Whilst camo can work really well given certain parameters are met, I think using what you like is far more important regardless whether it matches or not.
lemon191 Posted December 21, 2017 Posted December 21, 2017 Multi can tropic is a nice camo and as it is made up of greens will match the vest more than regular multi cam
Pritch Posted December 21, 2017 Posted December 21, 2017 Here’s my ranger green plate carrier setup, I originally had some multicam pouches but since the base of multicam is tan/coyote it was just too light so I spray painted them to match which actually has turned out really well. Keep in mind that ranger green is close to olive green, less bright and more dull, I think it’s great on it’s own and mix it with digital woodland bdu’s.
Pritch Posted December 21, 2017 Posted December 21, 2017 Ranger green is RAL 7013 which is technically “brown grey” so keep that in mind.
Immortal Posted December 21, 2017 Posted December 21, 2017 LOL... in that case mine wasn't actually Ranger Green! DOH! Mine was more... green green. Nameless bad guy in the A-team green. The RAL 7013 looks Olive drab on my screen, nice.
Conor5921 Posted December 21, 2017 Author Posted December 21, 2017 I think I'm just gonna go multicam with multicam, standard, simple and looks cool.

Never heard that one before.. do you actually own gear in both? I've seen a lot of 7013, own a lot of RG from FS and Crye.. sure looks like a different colour to my eyes. Close, sure, but I've been collecting gear a little while now and I'd never call them technically the same. RG is Green, that's why it's called green.
Pritch Posted December 21, 2017 Posted December 21, 2017 I know it’s a bit odd, but I’ve found that out because I’ve spray painted some gear to match my RG stuff, so I had to find out the exact colour to match and I tested by spraying it onto the RG stuff and it’s a perfect match.
Supporters TheFull9 Posted December 22, 2017 Supporters Posted December 22, 2017 Not sure how paint relates really, I've seen lots of RAL clothing/nylon gear and lots of RG from various brands and they are straight up different colours of fabric. But if that's your summation on the topic I'll just agree to disagree in that regard since I don't physically have a piece of RAL clothing here to provide relevant empirical proof.
Pritch Posted December 22, 2017 Posted December 22, 2017 Well I’m noexpert but I bought a ranger green PC, bought ral 7013 spray paint and it matches perfectly so for me it works
clumpyedge Posted January 2, 2018 Posted January 2, 2018 My RG slickster is very very close to my grey/brown UF Pro trousers, not 100% but very close indeed.
