What colour were 60lb rockets?

What colour were RAF 60lb rockets painted?   What were the launchers painted, the same as the underwing colour?

I've always seen them as having Bronze Green bodies with an Olive Drab war head although it could be a very green shade of Olive Drab.

Not sure about the launch rails, but I've not seen Azure Blue or Sky ones (doesn't mean there weren't any) so I've assumed they were medium sea grey in the main.

Thanks.  That is a great help.

Chris, so, dark grey for the launching rails? OK.

Undersides would have been MSG so that's what I tend to use for the rails and that is a relative light grey. Especially when compared to upper surface greys.

I posted that! Not 100% sure about any accuracy.
