Plain dull grey. She was mostly used as a depot ship during WW2.
I dont know if her decks were planked or not. If they were they might have been over painted with grey. If they were metal then they would definately be grey. I have a nagging thought that I have seen an early war camouflage in photographs, but I cant recall the source. If so it would most likely be dark and medium greys or grey and black in the early war. |

That's an Admiralty Disruptive Pattern – Light scheme, probably consisting of MS1, AP 507C, B5 and possibly a 4th color. |
