Just finished a new AR build and trying to figure out what color furniture to put on it. I've had black AR's in the past and want to do something different. Trying to decide between Flat Dark Earth and OD Green. Opinions are welcome. TIA

Here is a photo comparison:

One is not better than the other. If the color won't be used to help hide you and the weapon in hunting or military/leo operations than it is simply preference. Don't worry about pleasing everyone. Pick the one you like best and go with it.

I like black. But I did do one FDE/OD combo to hang with the cool kids.

There's something to be said for wolf/stealth grey, though....with the likelihood of urban warfare. You'll want to blend in with the concrete as much as possible.

I like the Green and tan butsince I only have one ar for now, I couldnt sit there going back and forth what color to go with. So, maybe I will now have to build one of each to solve my problem.

Does anyone else hate the term "furniture" used this way?

yes, but "accessories" sounds sort of feminine as well

I've always been a homer for FDE

but if you wanted to do something different i'd check out Larue Tactical's "UDE" Urban Dark Earth

its a light grey

I like FDE but that's me. Do whatever you like/think is cool.
