From the Q/A at andreaslärka

Finnish Colors Inquiries

FS numbers and/or RAL/Vallejo for overal green finnish camo at the start of the continuation war.
answer:
The colour is called "kenttäharmaa" (field grey) and the closest F.S. number is 24064.

This is a later war colour but i guess they had alot of different colors due to all the beutepanzers from the russians and also the different german tanks.
They fought with what they had to beat their enemy.
