Thanks!
BS381 No 61 Light Stone was the official colour for the theatre for most of the desert campaign. However there were various disruptive and or local schemes applied on various vehicles at various times some of which were locally mixed and can’t be easily referenced at such a remove – for example 8th army “desert pink” was apparently a mix of light stone and red oxide primer

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
