Correct colour? Why bother ... with wear, sweat, dust, fading etc .... how could there be a correct colour? Use any of the colours mentioned ... mix in light greys, greens and browns ... you canīt go wrong!
Hi Tony,
Ian's about hit it on the head, there was great variation in shade depending on when and where the kit was made and also depending on how long it had been in use.
A bit form one of the reviews on the NWM figs that might help too:

On his head the figure wears a Gutrah and a Ogal, the band that kept the Gutrah in place. This was a style of traditional Arab headdress, but the forces were issued with a cloth that was sand coloured rather than white. The Ogal tended to be black so options as to how you might finish the head-dress exist.

They also wore the local Arab style headdress so you have a variety of options as to how to finish that.

There would be little variation in Sikh head-dress as this was regulation issue, & the Sikhs were sharp dressers anyway, the way it was fashioned and put on is part of their religious observance.
I couldn't guess as to what the actual colours would be, as this also depended or Regimental Colours, black, buff or khaki, but that would need confirmation.
