Get a lighter khaki (pic related) and you won't have to lighten it much, if at all. I don't know much about fabric recoloring but certain fabric compositions are easier to lighten and dye than others (there are different dyes with different directions on the box for natural versus synthetic fibers, for instance). BDU uniforms are commonly available in cotton, cotton-nylon, and cotton-polyester fabrics. /gq/ should be somewhat familiar with dyes. Is this for cosplay (>>>/cgl/ btw) or will it need to hold up to specific usage? Depending on what kind of soft kit you're after you might find it already pink or you might find options in natural or light khaki cotton canvas that'll be very easy to dye. /gq/ can help you find materials for making your own if it comes to that.
