105mm artillery rounds come in a couple different colors depending on what they are/do. As you can see in the below pics, the most common are OD green for HE (High Explosive) and HEAT (High Explosive Anti Tank), and grey for smoke rounds. The casings are always brass. The fuse (on the pointy end) is usually silver.
