Originally was planning on doing a dying job but after hearing from some other members and finding out some information I was not aware of before the original post I decided to scrap the idea the way I was approaching it and take a different approach. If anybody’s got any good photos of your tex green coveralls You would be willing to share I would appreciate it. Planning to do a red kap conversion of my own and I’m going to try dying the coveralls to match them as closely as I can. Photos of colors and details of the coveralls are appreciated Thanks
I mean, you’re basing your color match off of a black and white photo that has been colorized. Not the most accurate source.

The photo you’ve chosen was originally black and white and had color put into it artificially after it was taken.
Besides that, trying to match color based off of images is difficult because color shows up differently on each person’s device. Additionally, each pair of authentic coveralls will have slightly different color due to fading.
I went through this dilemma myself.
I chose to buy a pair of vintage Tex greens and call it a day. You can’t get any closer than the real thing.
I own quite a few pairs now. I can confidently say that the color you’ve tried to match in the photo is too green. Tex green is a grey color with some green and a hint of blue.
In these photos, tex is on the left, charcoal in the middle, and navy on the right.

That is why I asked on here first 
Figure if I am going to shoot for this project who better to ask than other fans. Thanks for the input my friend. You stated some good points. I wondered about that photo and whether or not it was artificially colored in because I have never actually seen a color photo taken from scenes in the movie but I thought it was worth a try anyways. I have a clone pair here from creepy customs And I may just use that for reference instead. I love my clones I have the only problem is I’m a little on the heavy side for them so they fit a little too snug lol basically looking to do a recreation myself that I know will fit me right. Looks like I’ll be scrapping this original idea and starting over. Thanks again for the input. Much appreciated my friend
