One of the most frequently asked questions we see here in C/G is, "What color vest looks good with my camo?" Often times, we can only answer that question with a lackluster "just trust us" while the player seeking help is left buying gear on faith. We can do better. We can show them what their options look like.
I broke out the ol' camera and all the different patterns and vest colors that I own. Below you will find a selection of 5 common US camouflage patterns, all genuine, matched with 5 different vest colors.
Camouflage Patterns (from left to right):
M81 Woodland
Woodland MARPAT
Multicam
Desert MARPAT
3-Color Desert
Vest colors (from left to right in the first picture):
Eagle Industries Ranger Green
Blackhawk Olive Drab
Crye Multicam
Eagle Industries Khaki
Knock off brand Black (but come on, black is black)
You'll notice that Coyote Brown, is missing, as are the newly popular AOR1 and 2. Sadly, I don't own any Coyote Brown vests or AOR 1/2 camo, so I can't shoot those comparison. If somebody is willing to ship me the missing colors and patterns, I'll happily head back out into the yard and fire away.

Updating for Coyote Brown. This is AWS's CB, which seems pretty standard compared to the rest of the industry. I don't know what brand the pouches are, but they're clearly pretty spot on with the vest:
