I have yet to find one, but for each vehicle, I do some research into the proper colors, then use http://www.paint4models.com/ to find the appropriate color for the brand of paint I am using.

Typical US and British tanks were a shade of Olive Drab(varies alot), Russian Tanks were Russian Green(varies alot) and German tanks were either German Grey or Dark Yellow with or with out Olive Green and Red Brown camo.

Sorry I could not of been more help.
