Hi !!!
With tonality of enamels it is always a problem.You should remember that in reality a tone of a paint depends on many things.For instance: a paint quality,the area where the a/c was used and the weather conditions there, the time of usage ( long ,short period ),dameges during struggles etc....
Certainly,the brand new plane direct from a factory looks better than the a/c used operational for long time.In Internet you can find many articles about it.Look around closely, please.
But if you don't time here you are.

As far as MC.202 Folgore is concerned there is e problem with the propeller blades painting.It seems that they should be black Humbrol 33,Tamiya XF1 but in the pics of early Mc202 they seem to be silver.Or black on back surfaces and silver on front ones.However,in many pics of later Mc202 is clearly visible that blades are dark painted with white or yellow endings.Because there were the general rules of Italian camouflage only and Italians used German colours for painting often so there is posibility that the propeller could be painted with Schwarzgrun RLM70- Humbrol 91,Tamiya XF27,Gunze65.I think you have to find a pic of the plane you want to make.Only in the way you can find out what the propeller colours were.
regards,
BTW Enamels for small scale models (1:72 for instance) should be a bit lighter with a drop of white enamel to make the contrast of camo colours much more visible.
