Blanco can be scrubbed off withsoap and water. It won't be sandy, but you can work down to a lighter green. Or get it as light as you can, then let dry out and see if you can get a sandy blanco from a surplus store. Intersestingly enough, blanco means
white and the first belts were made white. Then green was used as it was a bit more camouflagey. In the tanks, we boot polished them black! (they got dirty mucking about in tanks etc, so in the end it was decided to blacken them.
