As we know many of the new old stock bags are gone. There are reproductions but they are far too yellow to match the screen used Rothco belts. Many people use a different belt that matches the bag but at the sacrifice of accuracy.
 
I dyed my bag to match to match the belt. Couple gallons of water. First soak the bag in a water and vinegar mix for 1/2 an hour or so.
The mix up 8 to 10 earl gray tea bags steeped 8 spoons of coffee (in a bag) steeped for 15 to minutes. 30 drops of green food coloring.
 
Put the bag in and soak it for a bit, I think it was about an hour for me. You could do 15 minutes until you get the color depth you are looking for.  I did try to dye it with just tea prior so, maybe do a tea/coffee soak, let it dry then do a tea/coffee/food color soak?
