The first scarf I made for Russia was a very light pink with a bit of beige in it. It was seriously the perfect color. Just like the anime. Then the scarf I made turned to tissue when I ironed it on low. Then the yarn was discontinued at JoAnns. I had to buy a cotton candy pink for the new scarf.
The color isn't nearly as good, but, hey, not much I can do at this point in time. I'm halfway through the thing.
In some pictures, like the cover of the second manga volume, he wears a beige colored scarf. I think it can really go either way.
By the way, Kinokuniya sells Hetalia manga. Fourteen bucks a pop though.
