I colorize BW photographs this method:

1. I create a new layer (clean) above the base layer
2. Color mixing method
3. I draw with brush (or air brush or so) in order to colorize place by place the photograph

And now my question: WHAT ARE THE SETTINGS FOR KHAKI COLOR to draw on the layer using the "color method" for mixing with the base photo.

Thanx in advance.

One of these should do the job:

RGB(159,159, 95)
RGB(192, 217, 217)
RGB(189,183, 107)
RGB(240,230, 140)

RGB(192, 255, 62)
RGB(179, 238, 58)
RGB(154, 205, 50)
RGB(105, 139, 34)

What is the difference between this green and any other green, for you? I’ll do the same way to paint a soldier than a piece of a leaf (except that I’ll never touch a soldier)
what is the problem?
