At one point the Navy had a green winter uniform as well as a Khaki summer uniform.

See link below for the latest Navy memo on the subject. The part of it that answers your question is :

SERVICE KHAKI DURING PERIODS WHEN SUMMER UNIFORMS ARE PRESCRIBED, AND

The Navy will retain enlisted E6 and below the Navy Dress Blue w/dixie cup (crackerjacks) and the Navy Dress White w/dixie cup uniform. The Dress Whites are getting a makeover to have them look more like the dress blues, they are changing the cut and material of the uniform and adding blue piping to the flap and cuffs. (IMO they should have went with the the "Sandpebbles" whites, but oh well).

The working white (ice cream man) and blue (Jonny Cash) uniforms have been replaced by the "Black and Tans" Khaki Shirt w/Black Trousers and will be the year round uniform.

Dungarees and washed khaki have been replaced by the blue/gray/black digital camo uniform.

Service Dress Khaki is being tested for E7 and above.

Ahh, Gucci-flage

The navy has more uniform combinations than GI Joe (with the Kung Fu Grip) and Ken (of Ken and Barbie fame) combined.

Heh - time for the Barbie joke -

Have you seen 'Divorce Barbie'? Comes with all of Ken's accessories...

BTW, I'm a bit suspicious of our one-post questioner with a potentially coincidentally only almost relevant spam-like first post...
