As well as the pale khaki colour there are a lot of options for camouflage colours. The US Army in WW1 had 3 camouflage schemes before everything went Olive Drab at the end of WW1.
3-colour - White, Mid Green and Ochre
4-colour - White, Mid-Green, Dark Green and Ochre
5- colour - White, Mid-Green, Dark-Green, Mauve and Ochre. (used on large pieces)
The colours were separated by black lines - these are actually the layout lines for the camouflage (but that's another story). The attached image was borrowed from Ralph Lovett's artillery website and is a page from a contemporary book published by American Car Foundry.
