Green Stuff WorldvsVallejo
Green Stuff World is better known for tools and hobby supplies than paint, so its Maxx Formula range often gets overlooked. It is a single 104-color line, all opaque, sitting opposite Vallejo's 334 colors across two ranges.
Our take
The honest comparison
Maxx Formula is a compact, entirely opaque set. Every one of its 104 colors is a standard opaque paint, with no metallics, washes, or technicals in the range at all, and 100 of those 104 have a Vallejo equivalent. So it works as a tidy, self-contained opaque range in dropper bottles, and it leans earthy, with browns and yellows making up the bulk of the palette.
Vallejo is the deeper bench by a wide margin. 334 colors across Model Color and Game Color, 273 of which map to a Green Stuff World color, plus metallics and a little wash coverage that Maxx Formula does not attempt. For anyone who wants one brand to cover most of a project, Vallejo is the safer single choice.
The realistic role for Green Stuff World here is a strong-value opaque range you add to a collection, not a full system you build a whole paint station around. If you already buy their tools and greenstuff, the paints are a sensible extension; if you are starting a paint collection from scratch, Vallejo's range does more.
