WWII French armour colours

I have one very limited resource, but it says the normal base color was a medium olive green. They used two other colors as well to varying degrees. One was ochre which is described as being a dark dry mustard and the other was a chestnut brown. Black was often used to outline the other colors. Try a search on the net for French armored vehicles, you'll get some great ideas there.

here's a photo of a CharB in the french Cammo ( with out the white flag)

well they had great reverse gears and the automatic white flag was a good option

Here are some websites that might help.
