I'm guessing you mean US. Army, Navy, or both. For Army, the color plates in the front of the TM 9-1900 Ammunition General 1945 for ammo dated 1942 to at least 1955:

More modern color codes:

For Navy projectiles, you need to go to the specific projectile type for identification in the US Navy Bomb Disposal Manual for Projectiles in the downloads section here on BOCN:

I have Volume 1, OP 1666 (11 June 1946). Covers German Explosive Ordnance (bombs, fuzes, rockets, land mines, grenades & igniters). No projectiles, tho. Maybe that's in Vol. 2.
Doesn't show color but does note it in descriptions.

Rick,
I have Vol 2, but it's in B&W. There is a brief color description, but not enough in detail.

RegPitt, I guess you need the actual German H.Dv. for each projectile to be accurate.
