I believe these will be as close as is possible to what Bismarck looked like on the last cruise given the one color cover everything so is the best solution.
He had red turret tops in the Baltic, but it does seem they were yellow for Rhineland as was Scharnhorst and Gneisenau for Berlin and Hipper for Weserubung. Although, I have never heard a good reason as to why.
Hipper's December 1940 Atlantic scheme is my favorite.
The Twins had a nice powder blue for turrets tops in Cerberus. Sounds like a Girly man was in charge of the painting in Brest, LOL
Because the nearly fresh paint put on in Norway to cover the camo and swassis have come off after all the years on the bottum, some wrongly assume they were that way for Rhinubung. They are mistaken
