The trousers where the field blue base and field blue and blue grey highlights around 50/50.
The shirts where the gw blue followed by a 60/40 gw blue and Vallejo field blue then a final highlight of the same with a little blue grey (around 10%)
The khaki was a base of khaki followed by a mix of khaki and sand 40/60.
Between the base and 1st highlight I did a wash of very watered down black paint.

All of the mixes are not exact as I mainly do them by eye.
