Re: mud bath
Find a mud hole and wallow in it, then belley crawl a couple hundred yards thru dirt, weeds and poison ivy and into the next mud hole. Do that for a couple hours then hang it and let it dry. That's how we did it...

Blending colors is something that happens over time from getting it dirty and conditioned properly. Don't sweat coloring too much.
A couple of contrasting earthy tones should be fine unless you happen to be in a heavily vegetated area. If you do need greens, don't go overboard. Anymore than 50% green ends up being to dark for most environments. Better to add surrounding foliage if needed.
Some of the best suits I've seen have been completely made from natural colored burlap. Texturing, suitable coverage and adding natural vegetation should be the main focus when making any ghillie effective........
