Default Khaki or Desert?

Painting my rig!
Please post up pics of your rigs painted Khaki or Desert so I can get some ideas. Which one should I go with?
And this will just be a cheap rattle-can job, so what brand? Krylon?

Edit: I'm already liking this:

The khaki looks like it will turn out almost too "white" in the spectrum.

That's a photo of EricXJ's. He used Krylon's Camouflage in Ultra-flat Desert tan (Khaki).

I really like this finish and am probably gonna do my XJ using his write-up.
