WW2 Desert Colors

Hi gang,

I'm looking into some WW2 Africa battles and am wondering what colors would be best suited for both the British, Germans and the Italians.
I was thinking of a Desert yellow for the Germans, but I think it might be too dark.

Just some helpful suggestions would be nice

Thanks

Ex the Humbrol range (you might find colour conversion charts on line to whatever brand you use):
German: Ochre #83
British: Desert Yellow #93
Italian: Yes, I'd like to know too...

Hi All

Regarding the British, it depends on the period (before or after Alamein). Can't do worse tham these guides:
