Jaypack basically said the keypoints.
By this time in the war, aircraft were frequently built in parts at separate factories and then assembled. It was very difficult to maintain a uniform RLM adherance across all the various assembly lines so aircraft frequently featured mismatched schemes and odd colours.
Towards te end of the war the Luftwaffe found it difficult to consistently produce the same colour paints. RLM 84 was the late war underside colour, and was supposed to be a pale/lilac blue, but inconsistencies and issues with supply etc meant the colour varied greatly, from very blue to pale green tones.
