The Best info I have at hand is a reprint of the US Navy German Explosive Ordnance, Pamphlet 1666 dated june 1946. It lists the 250 kg concrete practice bomb "ZC 250" (ZC= Zementcylindrische) describing it as bright green overall.

Doesn't sound very definitive because its more of a basic military reference than a Historical examination, but its a start. For comparison other bombs in the book are described as being one or more of Field grey, sky blue, tan and aluminum. Various colored stripes depending on the variation are also mentioned.

Hi thank's to help me, certainly the colors varied a lot, depending on the availability and the necessities, my request was of a general nature, in order to try to maintain a certain historical veracity.
I attach the photo in question, the bomb is under a FW 190-A0 painted in RLM02




I have the same discussion here too

I found some information here also in German
