I have searched a few web sites they appear to look a Dark Yellow colour with a scribble type camouflage but i am not sure of the scribble colour.
Please have patience with me as i am colour blind in shades of green and brown and blues and purples.
Dave | The squiggle camo is usually Dark Yellow XF60 base and XF64 red brown with XF61 dark green. I have a SdKfz 251 with the same scheme.
The grey of the FAMO or other basic Panzer Grey is usually a variant of XF63 Panzer Grey.
These are basic references, most people make their own lightened/darkened versions of these colours to represent fading.
As for the Churchill, I'd follow the instruction guide for painting, I've no idea what the "official" British Army scheme is.
Hope this helps
