Try these sites:

One error in this site is the callout of dunkelgelb nach muster as coming
after dunkelgelb 7028. It is actually the other way around, dunkelgelb nach
muster was called for without a RAL number in February, 1943 and dunkelgelb
7028 was the official color called out in April, 1943.

Some comments on your paint colors:
There is no panzergrey. The Germans called it dunkelgrau RAL 7021. The RAL
7027 color is grau as specified for the DAK and is a sandy-gray.
RAL 8020 is braun, Gelbbraun. is RAL 8000 specified for North Africa which
I assume is the DAK gelb you are looking for. RAL 8020 replaced RAL 8000 in
March, 1942
RAL 8002 is not olive green since browns are in the 8xxx series, greens are
in the 6xxx series. The Wehrmacht paint listings for 10 February, 1941
lists RAL 8002 as erdgelb. Olivgrün is the RAL 6003 you have already
listed.
RAL 8012 is Rot bzw. Rotbraun(red or redbrown) and it's listed that way.
This bulk of this is from Tomas Chory's book on Wehrmacht Camouflage Colors.
