Hard to tell for sure, we have been debating this issue recently in the Nieuport 16 thread. It is known for sure that some aircraft had 4 different colors, light & dark green & light & dark brown, while others may have been 2 colors or any combination of the above. I don't think any of the camouflaged Nieuports had the aluminum underneath they would be either linen or sky blue. And don't forget the horizon blue tapes around the wings and tail surfaces. Although some aircraft had replacement wings that were camouflaged on aluminum fuselages such as one of Guynemer's N.17's so there are no hard and fast rules, you must find a photo of the aircraft you are doing and make an educated guess. Good sources for paint would be the Misterkit line, they have at least 2 of the Nieuport green & browns, not sure about the other 2 colors.
