Here's a very much abriged version of Starmer's research, as appicable to CMPs:
1940-42: base colour Khaki Green No. 3
1942-44: base colour S.C.C. 2 (a.k.a. brown, khaki brown or service drab)
April 1944–45: S.C.C. 15 Olive Drab (not the same as US Olive Drab)
Middle East practice: approx. October 1941/December 1941 - April 1943: basic colour Light Stone No.61
