There is one factor which could work against this line of thought: the (tactical) need to quickly identify pilots in the air

I know- and there is variation of the applied marks. German pilots prefer personal markings in WW1 and in many cases they used personal color which indicate color of their town or province.

This profile is credited by the leading WW1 researchers as the best possible reconstruction of this airplane

This said enough about the same quality but as well l know- from b&w images could not be give precise answer about the same color. Much have to be research in the pilot notes, memory and parallel experience with other pilot from the unit. Personal colors of the Lt. Stark Dr.I is almost identical to the personal color of this plane. Not enough but possible relation.
And how you will illustrate this problematical area?
