Guess the camo colors would probably be yellow, green and brown (just as with regular armor)
I am not sure, but IIRC I have even seen drawings of one in ambush pattern.
As far as the numbers go, most I have seen are either black or red with white outline (as in the old Tamiya kit).

It depends a lot too on which campaign and/or season you want to model in.

I have usually seen the yellow / green or the yellow / brown used. I always thought that for the numbers SS used the red white and wehrmacht the black white, but I would look that up before I held to that thought
