I have come across a 1936 Official instruction stating that AFV in the Middle East were to be painted in "light sand" with "dark sand" camouflage. Any ideas on the colour dark sand; i.e. is it a dark brown, dark orange or dark red?
In WW2 most British tanks in the Middle East were painted just plain yellow sand colour whilst a few also had additional blotches of dark sand. This could either be a dull almost greeny brown (as per aircraft of the Desert Air Force) or a sort of reddish colour depending on where they were operating
