Vallejo's color chart says that #881 (Verde Amarillo-Yellow
Green-Gelbgrün) is the best match for Tamiya XF-60. The same chart also
gives #978 (Amarillo Camuflaje-Dark Yellow-Currygelb) as the true
Dunkelgelb nach Muster color. For what it's worth, #890 (Verde
Refractario-Reflective Green-Olivgrün) and #872 (Marrón
Chocolate-Chocolate Brown-Schokolade Braun) are the other two late-war
camo colors.
The chart is very thorough. There are equivalency listings for FS, RAL
(modern, one supposes), & RLM standards, and Tamiya and Humbrol paints.
13 paint sets are also listed (1-12 and 14, no #13), but by stock # (as
above) rather than "position on the card" which is by somewhat arbitrary
color groupings so it is a pisser to find the set colors on the card.
