No, I am talking about the webbing harness which on POST WAR chutes is dyed a kind of sandy/khaki colour whilst the WAR TIME items were un-dyed natural canvass colour which would I suppose be called "off white".
Of course the parachute canopy is not visible when inside the pack but they too have varied greatly in shade even during the war but mostly war time canopies would have been un-dyed silk, again a slightly "off white" although an olive green shade is seen.
