Today I got out there during a sunny patch and had another go. It looks like there is green under the sand after all, but it's a very very thin layer.
The sand colour itself is close to (post war) 361 light stone, but has a touch of green in it.
See the attached photos - the colour underneath is definitely SCC15 green, which makes sense.
I've also compared the desert colour to SCC15 (definitely not a faded version of this), light mud (similar, but it's much lighter) and wartime light stone (definitely not).
