Just a simple question, I have an ACU vest I don't plan on getting rid of for a while, but I have a simple question. What are some colors that match well with ACU? I'd imagine tan...

Tan and ACU. Those are the only ones I can see going well.

Personal hatred of ACU aside.
Tan, Ranger Green.
Khaki also fits amazingly well.

I understand your particular position on it, I really don't like tan or dark earth at all.

Those are really the only colors that blend well.

And none of those colors really make sense as pouches attached to an ACU vest. Those colors all work well as vests over an ACU uniform. You really just want ACU pouches to go on that ACU vest you just bought.

I'd just like to get a bit of variety going on with it. I can't imagine tan pouhes would look that bad on it...

It definitely doesn't look good. That said, if it works for you and fits your needs, go for it. Hard to argue with something that works because of color alone.

There's a reason why people buy solid colored camouflage gear: Dress Up Man Fashion Show!
Like this, but tactic00l.

Seriously though, ACU gear looks best (IMO) with ACU pouches attached to it.
Solid colored gear looks best (IMO) with same colored pouches or perhaps with a smattering of one other color.
As Knife (corrected) says, whatever works!

Knife says that. Knief says airsoft is a fashion show and looking good is at least as important as functionality, probably moreso.
