WWI German Uniform Colors?

[ErikB]

To me, the WWI uniform does not look like the same Feldgrau used in the second world war.  And the trousers seem to be a blueish color.

I want to differentiate my WWI guys from the WWII guys, so even if the Feldgrau was similar, I'd like to make the minis from different eras look a bit different.

Can anyone recommend a Vallejo or Citadel colors for the WWI uniform?

You can find my recipe on Scrivsland: http://scrivsland.blogspot.co.uk/2015/01/more-wwi-germans.html

• The uniform jacket and puttees were painted Field Grey
  The trousers Neutral Grey
  The helmets, mess tins and gas mask cases German Grey.
  The assault pack and gas masks were painted German Camouflage Beige.
  Haversack, flesh, rifle stock, bayonet handle and water bottle Beige Brown
  Flesh was then painted with Medium Fleshtone.
  The rifle slings and some straps were painted Saddle Brown
  Remainder of straps, boots, weapon fitting, bayonet sheath, shovel head, wire cutters, etc. were painted Black.

The whole lot was given a coat of Sepia Wash and then highlighted when dry:

• Field Grey was highlighted Field Grey then adding a small amount of Dark Sand
  Neutral Grey was highlighted with Neutral Grey
  German Grey was highlighted with German Grey then adding a small amount of Neutral Grey
  Beige Brown was highlighted with Beige Brown then adding a small amount of Dark Sand
  Mediun Fleshtone was highlighted with Mediun Fleshtone then adding a small amount of Ivory
  Saddle Brown was highlighted with Saddle Brown then adding a small amount of Dark Sand
  Black was highlighted with Black Grey
  The rifle fittings, wire cutters, etc. were picked out in very thin Gunmetal Grey
  A Flat Red line is piped down the trouser seams and a small dot on the epaulettes
  Each edge of the epaulettes is piped with Ivory as is the piping on the collars of the NCOs
  

Finally, the detail was picked out in Peat Brown ink. The boots, puttees and trousers are then weathered with Tamiya Model Master mud.
