RAL have a classic range
this covers the correct colors for WW2 as the modern RAL chart is not the same

Helmets were field repainted in vehicle colours generally:
RAL 7028 "Dark Yellow"
RAL 6003 "Olive Green"
RAL 8017 Red-Brown/Chocolate Brown
Early war helmet paint was RAL 7009 "Light field grey"/ "apple green"
Later war helmet were RAL 6006 dark field grey (usually textured paint)

RAL 7028 is not a part of the 'modern paint scheme' as you have it.
You will need to find a specialist supplier, Milweb is a reasonable start point or some vehicle owners here might have sources?
Where do MrCompton and his like go for their paint?

Good article here

RAL shades varied throughout the war.
Paint was matched by eye, not by computer.
Batches made in paint factories were limited to what was available.
Some colours weather and fade faster than others.
Bottom line is that there is huge variation in shades, all of which fall into the "correct for WWII" category.
