What color is the green on a "green tip"?

I painted the head of my dick green one time, two of the FFA Girls liked it.

Stop squeezing it so hard and let it go back to purple or blue

Well, someone mentioned JD Green.

I think that they were on to something!!!

Not sure I understand the need to do the paint thing for the type of ammo. I don't differenciate the plinking ammo as it's either FMJ/Green Tip or Fenderal Fusion 62gr. I only bring out the Federal if I hunt with my AR and that isn't often. FMJ or Greent Tip I see no need to separate. That being said. I will mark my AR and pistol mags with white paint pins if they are training mags. I do this because many times I'm letting the mags drop onto gravel or in dirt and they just get more banged up and dirtier.

Well, part of it is my OCD with mags/ammo and guns.

More than one time, I have shown up at a range with loaded magazines for the wrong gun I was going to shoot with.
Mainly Glocks.
They all look the same!!! So do the mags!!

Most ranges do not allow steel core ammo.
No indoor ranges I've been to allow it and the outdoor ranges do not allow it on the steel sides.
I keep a bunch of magazines for each gun I routinely shoot, loaded at all times.
Mainly so that I don't have to load them at the range and loose range time/trigger time.
This is just a way for me to visually differentiate the ammo and the mags
Since I have a bunch of AR mags, figured this way I can keep the FMJ differentiated from the steel core
And, since I'm a little OCD about those things, I wanted to get the green on the mag as close as I could to the green on the tip of the rounds.

Like I said in the first post, I do this with the base plates of my Uzi mags.
I load regular FMJ in regular colored base plate mags
I load sub-sonic in Purple colored base plate mags
I load "hot" in Red colored base plate mags
I load "training" in Blue colored base plate mags.

The blue is the biggest differential for me as that is the Swedish training ammo and while I can shoot it thru a standard 9mm Uzi barrel, it really can damage the barrel and has NO accuracy. I have to place a special "training" barrel in the Uzi. And the part of the barrel that protrudes from the Uzi has the same blue color.

So, now I'll have at least 8 AR mags with JD Green on the bottom thirds.
I guess if I shot soft points, I might use a grey color.
