It seems there is a lot of confusion over what actual colors British WW1 tanks are supposed to be. It's an unsettled question on the Landships site.

All of the Above!
Some/Most(?) Royal Naval operated vehicles were Battleship Grey-Blue)
Khaki Drab - Brown was common, & some museum exibits/gate guards were repainted with whatever paint was left over.
Then there were the ones in French & German style camo colours....
Pick a picture you like & go with that, you won't be wrong & naysayers won't be right either...
(set fuse & reture a safe distance )
