Do keep in mind that my standards for anything not in the Pepsi livery are drastically lower. It’s also hard to come across decent pics online…

Uhh, never took a closer look at KAL's 1970's colors, so I'd really have to guess as well. But I think NG's image (not the colors) is way off in exposure and saturation.
Judging colors by only some old scans is never a good idea - but often the only chance you have when it comes to classic subjects.
So if I'd really need to make up something in 2 minutes, my colors would be in this region:

But of course, actual paint again looks totally different to RGB.

If I'd need to make a model if this, I'd probably take a widly accepted existing model at hand as color reference. I have both GJ's 747SP and AC's DC-10 packed away somewhere. Never even compared these two, but would they match, this would be my color.
