Have you seen this?

This guy on here claims:

Fire Extinguishers on German tanks were Dunkelgrau until February '43 when the base color was then switched to Dunkelgelb. Same for the fire extinguishers.

Red was only used where they couldn't be seen on other AFVs like half-tracks. Your King Tiger would be Dunkelgelb or RAL 7028.

Then there's a link here with pictures:

From what i have been reading ..They came in 2 colours normaly. Sandy/brown...or dark grey. The only other change i see they done was if the tank was white washed that would get the same.
