Default Mixing Olive Dye

Hi Guys!!!

Another Prob......
I tried to mix some olive dye to reach the color of the ego-pic at the end of the post.....
My add. problem here in Germany.....I don't have the Caswell products.

Would be great, if anybody could tell me how to mix a nice olive with basic color dyes, 'cause I've no empty bottles left to store all the shades of green from my tries Forrest Green, Wimbledon Green, Poison Green.......no problem, only ***** olive doesn't work properly....

There was something.........mixing little amounts of black into yellow......but I don't remember......

I need your help, PLEASE.....

Mostly orange, mixed with black and green (maybe some red) makes a nice OD.

I like caswells stock color, it isnt like the paintball OG's tho. The paintball OG's are more of a baby poop color.
