Harry . for German WW2 vehicles, tanks etc...the RAL palette was used. The colour for the dark yellow was called the Dunkelgelb RAL 7028 or Wehrmacht Olive ( FS33275-33434 ).
Here is it sample.

Harrison, here are the lifecolor versions of those. And if you want to go with a three color camo, add some RAL 8012 Rotbraun (UA 211) : And a small shot showing all three of them together.

UA204 Dunkelgelb
UA002 OliveGrun

You can get all of them at Tankratsafv depot online. I think sprue brothers and great model carries them as well, but Tankrats doesn't charge shipping).

Edit: If you want to check out the color pallette for the RAL colors in the life color line, go to tank rats site, on the home page in the center there is a box for paints, and in the bottom right there is a link for the Lifecolor line. click on that and it opens up a page with the entire lifecolor line separated by type/vintage etc. In the Bottom right there is a section called SPECIAL CAMO. CLick on THAT to bring up the armor camo line.

Since I want to start with this build does this color work?

EDIT: Looks a bit dark, shall I add white?

This color below I DO have, and I really don't have time to buy paint now.

I agree. No white. I think the yellow colour is better for that.Also I would add a drop of Red paint.
 
Hard to tell from the sample posted, but i'd say that's close enough. The actual colour came in two distinct shades, with not a lot between them. But, depending on where and how it was applied, it could look quite pale, like a sand colour. Also, the effects of ageing, weather etc could cause the colour to look lighter, and the application of mud washes, by the crews, made it look darker. Basically, for a vehicle in the field, anything close to the actual colour should be fine.
