My Tiger backround color is dark yellow then stipes of red brown and forest green, but what's forest green? Is 50% olive green and 50% light green mix will do? |

I always think that nitpicking over exact colors is a bit pointless, however generally with German armor, the conventional wisdom seems to be to use Tamiya XF-60 Dark Yellow, XF-61 Dark Green, XF-64 Red Brown.
As for the actual camo patterns themselves, usually German armor arrived in the field painted with the yellow base coat and it was left to the crews to paint the green and red camo. Sometimes it was spayed but it could be brushed. There is a lot of variation. So if you lack a specific pattern for a specific tank, try to imagine yourself as a German tanker spraying camo onto your Tiger and then try to replicate that onto your model.
Try to avoid making it too perfect as you camo the deck. Whereas it is easy to paint perfect lines across the top of the model, in real life, since they lack the ability to fly, such perfection is a lot harder to achieve. Also be mindful of the fact that in real life the turret is on the tank when it is camoed.
