From the photos it looks more like a silver/gun metal grey and not Feldgrau.

My greatest fear is that one day I will die and my wife will sell my guns for what I told her I paid for them

It seem very light
That's not the correct ET factory color , probably chemicals to clean the surface altered the look of the helmet.
I've seen Oxalic acid change color, generally to a lighter color. This is more pronounced than I have seen before though. Could also be the lighting as well.by Schwerpunkt

Hi Bavarian,
You should try taking photos in the daylight. It will be helpful in evaluating the colours.
Can we see the inside too?
Has your friend touched the helmet in anyway such as Oxalic acid as suggested above by MAP?

Yes I can take better picture for you

The pictures
The inside
Thanks for the additional picture Bavarian
The interior photo appears to show a little bit of a dark remaining feldgrau near the front visor and side. I agree with what Frank and MAP said in relation to chemicals perhaps changing the original colour.
An interesting relic to have in a larger size.
Andy
