Pic Request: XD-45 in Flat Dark Earth

Ok guys, I have a XD-45 that I'm ordering in FDE this week and before I confirm on Monday I'd like to clear this up.

I have seen a ton of pictures on the internet of XD's in FDE that vary in color from Sand to Coyote Tan to Medium Brown to Dark Brown.

I'm asking for someone to help me out and post a picture of what they can verify is an accurate color representation of FDE. Example, the SA website picture of FDE appears Coyote Tan at best. I'd prefer that it be a bit darker in the medium to dark brown range. Thanks!

I have seen 5 or 6 at different gun shops and people that own them.. I have not seen much of a variation in color. They are pretty much maybe a tad darker than peanut butter tan (the only reason they did not name the gun this color was because it wasn't tactical enough) I get goofy when I stay up past 1am... not to mention I am craving a peanut butter sandwich

+1. Unfortunately, the digital pictures I've seen usually don't give an accurate representation of the true color.
