BS381 No 61 Light Stone was the official colour for the theatre for most of the desert campaign.
Most shops in the US probably won’t be able to mix to BS381 charts, but should be able to reference the FS595 equivalent for Light Stone which is FS 33448

61 Light Stone is closer to FS 595 33722.
An alternate colour used widely in North Africa is No64 Portland Stone. This is broadly equivalent to FS 595 30277.
