That was a short-lived organization that was born and died within 1942. In the end, the Army ended up taking over all kinds of technical and support functions that they didn't foresee early in the war, and recruited the personnel needed.

Like the Air Transport Command air carrier personnel, the Army didn't want the civilian specialists confused with military personnel, so their buttons and trim were dull gray plastic. The garrison cap branch colors were "burgundy and silver gray."

You can read some of the Specialist Corps uniform regulations here:
