Keith,
I take it you'r 101st depicts modern infantry? Check out the posts in the figures forum someone there will know better than me but according to the painting instructions for the Tamiya M2A2 ODS commander the colours are:
XF-57 BUFF, XF-60 DARK YELLOW and XF-68 NATO BROWN.
I think I'll keep an eye on any answers you get as well!
TTFN
Tom

EDIT: You'll probably need to 'play' around with these colours to get the right shades.
