Propaganda was grey. It's hard to say about yours without having it in hand out in the light. Sometimes you have to just make the best guess. When the piping was new it wasn't consistent - different materials, manufacturers, dye lots. Since waffenrocks stopped being issued at the start of the war, all are now 60+ years old. Add in whatever the hell happened to them over all these years plus the fact that different materials & dyes have held up better than others and you wind up with pieces like the one you have. I have a fairly large strap & board collection. Lay out 10 of them side-by-side and each will have a slightly (and sometimes not-so-slightly) different shade. I have a couple pieces that I'm still not sure of. Angolia's color patches are about the best I've seen, but even there he is trying to replicate with ink-on-paper what dyed material looks like. Based on the one picture of yours I think it's most probably light brown - early Signals. There were several other units that used the light brown, but they were either very obscure or instituted after the war started (ie - most probably no waffenrocks).
I am assuming that there are no devices on the boards.
