I gotta wonder if it's not something like Olive Drab, just so may tones and shades that anything could count.

Not sure if this will help since they are reproduction uniforms but here you go

This one in particular looks like the one on your figure

As far as a color match from what I've seen they seem to range all over the place from an olive drab like Bob said all the way to a neutral gray color. I think the best bet would just go with what looks best to you. With Russia making so many uniforms in so many factories at the time who is to say you'd be wrong with what you pick.
