My WW2 Axis figures are early-mid War Germans but actually represent the Spanish Blue Division. To be honest the only distinguishing feature is the Spanish flag patch on their right shoulder; otherwise wore standard German uniforms. This is one of my WW2 Painting Guides
Although officially the tunic and trousers were different colours, with wear they quickly assumed a general ‘grey’ look. Since ‘field grey’ is supposed to be grey with a bit of green, Roland made a grey by mixing black and white and then added a bit of green. The helmet is the same, but with more black added.
The closest I can came to when reproducing Roland’s colour scheme using Coat D’arms was:

Undercoat | Black |
Tunic & Trousers |
