hue 240 (blue)  
notice, so far, that this and green are perhaps the only hue shifts reproducible in c64 color scheme (to a degree)? orange (030) comes close...

No, I am referecing schematics where there is a dark and light version of the same colour. Red, green and blue are the only ones that do have a match, but orange (hue 030) is semi-matched considering that one is #666600 and #996633.

also, a specific shoutout to the fact there are five levels of white, with the lowest (black) being referred to as "schwarz" in the manual  
  
schwarz is german for black.

oh, that's very interesting! the hex codes of the c64 colours "orange" and "brown" as they can be chosen here in the ckit (by right-clicking on a colour) are different from yours. and there are still other versions (gdash, c64 wiki...) but you say you have the codes directly from the c64 manual?

no there are colour names that existed in the c64 manual, and "schwarz" was how they referenced black.  
  
as for color interpretations, I believe the site here uses the unbalanced versions? there is an interpretation that uses hexcodes closer to the "websafe" (216-color) palette (00, 33, 66, 99, cc, ff).

grr, not unbalanced, I mean unadultered (not being changed by brightness nor contrast).
