Roughly the same color as Kanto Dugtrio, but the colors on the official art is extremely off. The Alolan Dugtrio art, not done by Sugimori, looks much darker and saturated than Kanto Dugtrio.
Anime and other games had a more vibrant palette than Sugimori's. I think the more muted colors were to go along with Kalos's soft pastels, but then they cocked that up with going to tropical regions for the next two games. It doesn't have to be as saturated as the sprites, but I think slightly upping the saturation of the textures would be an improvement.
