Presumably they’d have been the same as the Army – in which case a brown/tan colour. Post-WW2 the tents stayed pretty much the same but to a green colour, a lot of re-enactors use the green colour because it’s cheaper.
White tents, such as white bell tents, i’d have thought would have been used until fairly late in the 30’s, at least early war, especially in far back areas. They were used throughout WW1, occasionally attempts were made to camouflage them by staining them with tea.
Of course, the other option could be to get a 1940’s style caravan and paint it up like one of those seen at temporary landing strips, dispersals etc
