Coronado Tan, eh? Never heard about it before, even though now I see there is a reference to it in the thread
Protec Khaki Green No.3 .
The subject came up recently when a Dutch restorer was asking about the right colour for his Diamond T. He mixed up some paint to match the remains on his truck:
I told him it most likely was (or should be) Light Stone - just rushed to forward him the info about Coronado Tan.
See
Colours of US M3 Light and Mediums supplied to Britain for some useful info on this paint colour.
