color

Anyone knows the exact type of that beige color that is used as target paper? The actual name or the Hex number? I want to get the right paint for the target paper.

One thing I've noticed over the years is that every target manufacturer has a slightly different color.
I took a target in to one of the big box hardware stores a few years ago and had them match it.

I then got 5 gal of paint for the floor of our range ... easy transition on the eyes going from the floor area to the target.
Helped me, but I'm not a "real" shooter, but never had any complaints from the athletes.

Good idea, home depot then.I don't really need much, as the target is a box. So I just need to repaint a few small area around the black target (bull). It is the same logic as adhering target paper on top of a bullet hole so that the target paper can be reused and reused. But in my case, it is a box.

Now that I look at it, it is more white than beige. I have different target paper from different commonly used brands. I think the only solution will be a visit to the home depot and have them match the color. I don't need much, I am NOT that bad...

Thank you folks. I took the target box to home depot. They managed to match it pretty well, I would say they made the paint close to 90% similar to the color of my target box.
