Web gear came in a tan color for the army (and for the parachutists of the Air Corps). The color could be changed by painting the gear with 'blanco', a solid block of paste that came in a variety of colors that was wetted and then rubbed into the webbing. The web gear was designed to hold most of the soldier's equipment in a variety of standard setups, although in the field this could be altered to a degree to the soldier's needs and preferences.
