You got the colors right for the most part. I would suggest go to the website below; it’s a store dedicated to the sale of reproduction US and German uniforms and gear for reenactors and living historians.

He has multiple original uniforms that he uses as reference and is considered by man y in the WW2 living history circles as a great source of knowledge.

Just like the “FIFTY SHADES OF DUNKELGELB/PROTECTIVE GREEN/OLIVE DRAB/KHAKI” purists; the WW2 reenactment community is chock full of snobs that will just your uniform by color shade.
