    It depends on what kind of footage you use as a basis since in the Original Series, special effects scenes tended to be with far less colourful than was probably intended.
    In the shows the good 'ol D7 looked kinda grey with a minute tint of blue while the actual model was actually grey.

    Here are some pics of the actual model (look at the pic in the top left corner)

    Original (IE Non-Remastered SFX) TOS Klingon D7 model was white.

    Once the TOS films hit the big screen, they had green ones.

    The 'Kronos One' from 'Star Trek VI: The Undiscovered Country' color scheme was a homage to the original TOS Klingon D7.

    TAS- teal or light green
    DS9 (the flashback episode)- green.

    Norway and Yeager dammit... I still want my Typhoon and Jupiter though.
    JJ Trek The Kelvin Timeline is just Trek and it's fully canon... get over it. But I still prefer TAR.

    Back in the day... (1960's)

    It depended on what kind of lighting the director wanted for his particular TOS episode.

    As said above, the actual model was a 'battleship gray' which, over time, faded.
