You can probably come close to a khaki color using underglaze, then put
a clear matte over it.

In searching for a glaze, I found one by Vivica Heino around 1971 that she
called "Kaki". Go to ftp://ftp.charm.net/pub/usr/home2/pssr/VHglaze.txt,
scroll down to "heavy Iron glaze" and look in the 3rd variation of that
glaze (below the iron recipe).

Hope this helps.

But, kaki is NOT khaki.

Kaki is the Japanese word for persimmon.
Glazes of this description tend to be
a bright orange-red.

Khaki is from Hindi, and means 'dirt-
colored'.
