Hi Mooniteman,

It's difficult in your case because the material is wool. Moreover, you have to figure out how much dye you have to add in order to reach screen accuracy. My suggestion would be a Pearl grey/Dark green or Green mix starting from white. The Green hue should be the 1/5 or 1/4 of the pants' colour. Otherwise, you could try plain RIT Taupe/Dark green. However, I am not sure about the quantity of dye used.
Keep in consideration that the colour on wool will come out lighter. However, it's really painful to remove dye and re-dye wool because it requires a special procedure.
