You will find plenty of arguments and discussion regarding paint here on the forum.
If you are looking at 60 year old paint and it is lighter, the only reason is because its faded. The military paint has a tendency to wash out quickly. I have seen plenty of cmps you would swear were painted mustard yellow, when in fact that is the result of OD paint that is aged.
