I've painted a couple of SS soldiers in that pattern for Bolt Action and in my opinion grey is a good contrasting color more on historical grounds than anything else, so I'm going to suggest something different. Instead of going for a different color, why not get your contrast out of a different pattern? As in, use for instance a reddish brown like Tuskgor Fur which color-wise is in the same range as the camo colors but instead of little multi-colored dots, you get large, mono-color surfaces for contrast. Or perhaps use downsized tank camo patterns on the armor. I'm thinking two-tone to not overwhelm the model with different patterns, staying true to the idea of larger surfaces of the same color to contrast from the camo pattern on the clothes. I imagine dark grey/dark brown or dark yellow/red brown might look good.
