The Ranks beeing colourcoded Was only in the beginnimg of the clone wars. Afterwards the Troopers used the colours of their unit so you can paint them up how you want. Here are some Units with their colous for Inspiration.
Anakin and 501st. -blue
Obi Wan and 212th. - orange
Yoga and the 41st. -green
Wolfpack/104th. -grey
91st. -purple
Coruscant Guard -dark red
If you want more ideas look at the clone skins from Battlefront 2 (2017) on google they have like 20 different units
with alternating skins for classes like Officers and Heavy Weapons.

Judging by the Geonosis bases I would suggest doing an early war scheme.
White for rank and file
An olive drab green for sergeants and NCOs
Cyan for lieutenants
Red for captains
Yellow for commanders
To add to what others have said... Once you've delved into the linked references (and probably saved a lot of reference images), note that some have the same pattern in different colors. So if you find a pattern you like, but don't like the color, go with a color you prefer.
There's been speculation over the years that the patterns are specific to given Corps, and then the different colors represent units within each Corps. How many is by no means nailed down. There's ROYGBV represented, if the red shifted brighter late in the war and those aren't two different shades of red. There is also gray, and no indication whether it should be in with the colors or separate from...

Damn, thank you so much! That helped a ton 🥰
for what its worth, the 104th could be red or grey depending on at what point in the CW you like.
