Hi,

Not an expert by any means, but Humbrol has a colour system binder which 
  "tells" you how to mix the new colours to get the discontinued colours.

Here is what it says for WWI colours:

World War I

Colour name 	          Humbrol
German Pale yellow        Hu:94
German Green              Hu:30
RFC Green                 47*Hu:80 + 19*Hu:33 + 17*Hu:73 + 15*Hu:34
German Light Blue         20*Hu:14 + 10*Hu:34 + 1*Hu:99
German Purple             38*Hu:60 + 8*Hu:25 + 6*Hu:64
Clear Doped Linen         Hu:74

RFC Green seems to be a mixture of Grass Green, Wine, Black and White.

Whereas Humbrol 29 is described as Dark Earth.

The system binder might be worth a look at, because it has paint chips 
for comparison.  It seems to have been discontinued.
