A lighter shade of brown or a tan colour I think for the N Korean. You can keep the same colours for the UN and S Korean forces. You could use the same colours as your Chinese Mao guerrillas for the Red Chinese.
So I tried this...

CPVA gets the Maoist colour, ROK gets dark tan, OUNF get UN blue, and KPA gets whatever that turned out to be.

Are you sure you don't want a different colour for the South Koreans? I think some people will think those two tan colours are too close together. I know some folks don't like the two tone colours, but maybe the South Koreans should be the same colours that MMP use? Or at least something significantly different than the North Koreans, considering they will be opposing each other.

I think the only one I would change from the official colors is the North Koreans. I'd just like it to feel like I am not playing the Russians. How about Russian brown center with Dark Gray border? Or the reverse?

Two tone counters are a bugger to produce. Cutting errors look so much clearer with them.

My two cents is to keep the colors similar to MMP's KWASL release. This allows players to use both MMP and BG counters in play. I am cutting and pasting the "first edition" sent to me and they are looking very, very nice. If it works, why tinker?

If I didn't tinker, I wouldn't have anything to sell! ;)😘

Changing ROK to a darker shade of Allied Minor (trust me, it is darker).

Excellent point, there is nothing to add.

Well, having served on both UN and NATO missions, I have a personal aversion to using NATO Blue for UN Troops!
Hmmm, interesting distinction! never thought of this view. Fair enough.
