Pre WWII paint colors?

I am looking for any reference for paint color for early 1930s U.S. military vehicle, specifically 1933 Chevrolet 1.5 ton Truck. Does anyone know of such a reference? I'd guess it would have been OD, most likely not drab yet, but was wondering if there is any reference out there.

Thanks, Ernie
