Colonial German light infantry gun colour?

[dualer]

I have two 28mm Colonial German light artillery pieces on my paint table and was wondering if anyone can advise on the correct colour for the carriage and gun barrel. Thanks in advance.

if you are referring to the 7.5 cm Schutztruppe mountain gun issued to the Schutztruppe in South West Africa- http://www.germancolonialuniforms.co.uk/ refers to " It is thought that they were originally painted in a sand colour when delivered to the Schutztruppen, but most now sport other colour schemes."  The ones shown in their present state all seem to have some form of grey colouring

Everything I have seen in paintings always seem to be grey.

   the  7.5C.M. Mtn gun.Now the Sand colour looks cool,as min the Wind and the lion,i have two guns painted just like them,because they look cool,and sometime movie cool trumps all,if you are happy who else cares.

German Southwest africa,krupp field gun 10.5cm i believe,the above pictured 7,5 is the Ehrhardt gun only 8 in German southwest africa,with an  retractable trail  for elevation changes.
