Tim,
This work by Alan Raven may be of help. In the USN, rafts(Carley Floats) were generally painted Haze Grey. There was significant discretion on the part of the ship's Captain though. It may apply to the RN somewhat as well.

Many thanks to Ed, Mike, Lew, Raymond and Jonathon,
It seems from the pictures that the pattern is a similar style but noy quite the same, so I'll make one up based on what info I've got. I don't anyone will criticise me if all of you are unsure. I just want it to be a bit different to the dull grey. My second query was , what was the colour of lifejackets life belts carley floats etc. Were they brightly coloured to help rescue identification or were they the same colour as the camouflage scheme?
Best wishes Tim

Thanks a lot for your link!

Here are some pictures of HMS Royal Marine, a Deans Marine model of an armed trawler of that era.
I will take a look at the drawings and see if there is any details of the colour scheme.

Tim,
I was thinking more the colors than the pattern. It would not have been USN MS 16, but rather a Western Approaches pattern. That said, the colors were quite similar, except for the use of greens in some WA patterns.
Hope that helps.
