IIRC BS4800 doesn't have colour names, only letter/numbers, so any names are ones that manufacturer's have invented.

I wonder about the 10B21 description for camouflage beige, although it's possible the standard has changed

It has, last change was in 2012. As for names of BS colours, never really looked in to the subject but this site has a short history that explains the roles and history of BS381/381C/4800 and others.

Have seen a photo of the WWII invasion stripes being applied with a broom. Time was of the essence I guess.

Re smoke, Francis Chichester in one of his books takes a NZ P-3 pilot to task for running his engines too rich when the aircraft overflew his yacht.
