What color were German mortars?

I've seen mostly that dark field gray (olivgrun), but also dark yellow (dunkelgelb) for late war.

Olive green is olivgrun. Dunkelgrau is dark field gray. IIRC, the early war mortars were olivgrun.

As above, field grey early in the war, dunkelgelb later on. For some daft reason I used to paint the early war one's panzer grey, and no-one ever complained. I expect they were being polite.
