I was looking at EagleCals' sheet #129 FW190 A
The aircraft "Black Triangle" is listed as having a color scheme of RLM 70/71/76 but there is clearly a third green there, running along the side of the aircraft. Does anyone know what color that is? I haven't been able to find any references to this plane in my books

That looks like RLM 02, which was often applied in the field to darken the fuselage sides. Most often it would be sprayed on in mottle, but I've seen this solid application a time or two.

Thanks Jessie! RLM 2 makes sense. Strange that EagleCal didn't notice that there is an extra color there, they even included a large pic of the actual plane in the instructions and it is clear on there as well.
