Correct colour for King tiger initial production

[Dadias]

What would be considered the correct colour for the King Tiger of the initial production? I see dunkelgelb in many cases, unfortunately the guy at my local hobby store supplied me with a khaki brown (vallejo 71.024) and I have already painted a few coats with it the turret.

My question is :

*do I keep it and continue the rest of it the same way, and will that be considered at least somehow accurate? 

*use a proper dunkelgelb, on top of khaki brown or remove it? 

Thank you in advance ☺️

You will get different answers, some will argue there was only one dunkelgelb throughout the war, with the usual nuances due to different paint manufacturers or slight deviations of the original mix due to shortages, human error, etc.  Others say there were deliberate changes.  I think overall the current attitude is that it was more of a tan/brown colour than the yellow green of the past?

 

Tomas Chory published his findings and included painted (not printed) chips.  He gives four shades for RAL 7028, plus the original farm equipment colour known as Dunkelgelb Nach Muster:
