Those on Sicily were reportedly also solid color yellow. I believe there were some in dark gray in the initial batch as well. It may take a bit but there are several others who know much more than me and will give you better information.

I thought the Tunisian Tigers were painted in the Tropen scheme,RAL 8000 and RAL 7008

And what about the initial production tigers painted in solid gray

Check 502 schwere panzer abteilung. Their Tigers were overall dark yellow in 1943 on the Eastern Front. Or as close to solid color as most builders make their 501st Tunisian tigers.

Apart from Africa colours, as far as I know there were solid dunkelgeb, solid dark grey and solid white for winter.
