From what I can find, there seems to have been at least two distinct camouflage schemes applied the this aircraft. The most common appears to be that shown in the Krakau museum. http://hometown.aol.de/TGenth/P7270842.jpg
It's probably a light/medium green and Prussian blue in a two-tone pattern, and over this is "splattered" dull yellow and medium/dark green.

The second scheme is what I've seen called a "scrumble" of four or five colors.

It appears to be overlapping blotches applied with a rag or a sponge, very probably in the same colors as the lozenge fabric on the wings.
There's a better shot of this somewhere on the 'net, but if I bookmarked it I've lost it somewhere. I'll look some more.
