What is the right color for military equipment in Eastern Europe?

Before the GWOT in Europe our military equipment was painted with woodland camo. Recent news reports and videos show Russian equipment painted dark green but US equipment is desert tan? Even the equipment that has been deployed in Eastern Europe for some time. So who has the right solution here?

Look, during DS1 and DS2, everyone painted their equipment for the desert. VII Corps was rotated in and out of the desert. It takes some time to repaint battalions of vehicles.

Field Grade Commanders used to camouflage according to environment.
It was called 'Leadership'.

The desert tan is the obvious choice for Eastern European conflict. The green paint on the Russian equipment just shows their lack of courage and attempts to hide from the mighty M1 Abrams.
