I have just finished some research on british colours of WW2 in the NW Europe theatre. It is based on primary reasearch at the IWM, Tank Museum and RAF Museum. If anyone is interested i can email it. It is in rough for, hope to maybe get it published, or if there is enough interest maybe write an article for the site.

Hi Mahross
An article on British armor colors is a great idea. I would love to get in on this. I agree with what was said earlier, the more British armor the better. Besides it could help me with a couple of projects I got going on.
