Heer infantry uniforms were generally field gray (Feldgrau). Tamiya makes this color, but it might be a good idea to lighten it slightly with a variation of white, buff, or light grey, etc. The only items in camo the Heer used was the rolled up shelter quarter, helmet cover, and camo smock (similar to SS version, but seldom seen) in 3 color splinter pattern - light green, brown, and dark green. Reversible winter parkas were splinter pattern/white. Pre and early war troops sometimes had field gray jackets with gray pants.

Or is Fieldgrey another one of those
What colour is Olive Drab, Russian 4BO Green, Dunkelgelb type questions
In other words something close is all that is needed as the real thing was all different shades of all different colours type of thing.
