HI ALL a few people always seem to ask about colours I found this a few years ago it came from the bottom of the cannel very near Ypres so it was in original condition it may help in your restorations

It is a Shell BL 5.5" Common Lyddite MkIII for Land Service, in Forged Steel by Elswick Ordnance Company.
See Treatise on Ammunition 1902 Page 258 plate and text.
