In relation to Almenröder's Albatros being described as “field gray”, I have to say that “Feldgrau” is a tricky color to describe. Under certain lighting conditions it can be seen more like a sort of green rather than grey.

Believe me, I collect original period “feldgrau” uniforms and other stuff, and sometimes these things look greenish, other times more like grayish, and they can even look bluish depending on the lighting they get.

Look at my Ulanka in my avatar. It is feldgrau and looks gray, but under the sun it is more like green.

Perhaps Almenröder's feldgaru could have been seen as green by some.
