Im looking for some color examples.

Single or camo

The following are in Museums but I believe they should be fairly accurate of the camouflage patterns:

* Photo of an FT-17 at the Australian War Memorial link

* Photo of a St Chamond at Saumur link

Colourised shots on the web may be a bit more hit and miss, or maybe they are just depicting single colour tanks with maybe a bit of fading and/or mud:

* FT17 and a number of other countries tanks following including a US Renault link

* Schneider link

For French tanks you can't really go wrong with ochre/sand and mid green disruptive, although the French experimented with all sorts of exotic paint schemes.
