at a first glance the blokes in the greatcoats.. Catachan Green from Workshop looks close in my opinion

David,

your problem is not the camera! You are shooting INTO the light hence the figures are dark. Shoot FROM the window side not at the window. You'll see a big difference even if you don't use a tripod and release cable

cheers

PS.. then we can comment on the colours! :wink:

You've got the light right now! Detail is fine. One shot is a bit shakey but just reshoot.
Are you using a tripod and release cable?

Colour of the uniforms looks absolutely fine which was your original query.. in my opinion
