Light Mud. Look on the MAFVA site for Mike Starmer's guide to the British Army's WW2 colours.

You've quite a bit of choice here, overall Light Stone 61,[ if previously used in NA ]. Light Mud / Black or Light Mud / Olive Drab or overall Olive Drab. Take your pick , best way is find a photo of your vehicle of choice and decide which to go for.

The British did not use half tracks in the desert, Light Stone 61 is a NO with this. However 1st Army in North Tunisia which is not desert may have have some and they would have been US Olive Drab or SCC.2 brown with or without SCC.1A or black 'MM' type disruptive painting. For Operation Husky a specific disruptive pattern A/190 was issued in April 1943 for M2 scout cars and this was used for the M5/M9 series half tracks too.
