That's kind of what I had in mind. It gets rid of that gosh awful cavalry gold. Looking at the reason the original colors were chosen, I think the amount of black and dark blue should be reversed. The black is for the beret, which is a minor part of the uniform. Dark blue is for the original blue uniforms -- think Federal, Civil War -- however, dark blue is the color of the current Army Service Uniform. So I think those two colors should be reversed. The olive should be more olive, too. Wish there was some way to specify standard Dalgliesh yarn colors.
I don't get the green shade that's supposed to represent the original sniper uniform. There never was such a thing, unless you count the green of Berdan's Sharpshooters, which is still a historically insignificant color.
ETA: I think now I'd replace that "sniper green" with a stripe of white. The official US Army flag has a white ground, and white is the color of peace, that which soldiers defend, and that which they wish for.
