Search for the kit you're looking for, and they 'usually' have the instructions as pictures you can view, including the paint call-outs.

That said... for most tanks, there's kind of a 'standard' set of colors that you should expect. Besides the camo colors, every tank is likely going to require:

black
faded black/dary grey
your favorite 'wood' color
your favorite 'leather' color
silver/chrome/aluminum
clear red
clear green

I have a bottle of testors acyril 'leather' that I've used a bit. I don't know that it's my favorite color in the world, but it's good enough.

For wood, to be honest, I'm still trying different things to make my wood handled tools look better. Typically a light base coat of any tan, followed by washes of darker colors, and then using Tamiya clear orange to give it a bit of highlights.
