Color-wise this is a muted, light green leaning cool. Within the AK Interactive range it ladders cleanly, Raf Camouflage Beige (Hemp) Bs381C/389 for the shadows and Light Ghost Grey Fs 36375 for the highlights. This color is somewhat distinctive: 1 brand offers a strong same-finish match, Monument Pro Acryl Bright Pale Green closest at 86 percent. Any substitute is a mixing base rather than a drop-in, so tune it on the model.
A-18f Light Grey-Blue equivalents and near misses
Fair warning: nothing matches AK Interactive A-18f Light Grey-Blue cleanly. The options below are the least bad, and every one of them drifts.
Closest Monument Pro Acryl equivalent: Monument Pro Acryl Bright Pale Green, close, with a hint of drift side by side (delta E 2.8).
From Citadel: Citadel Celestra Grey, workable at tabletop distance, not up close (delta E 6.0).
Vallejo's closest color: Vallejo Light Green Blue, a usable stand-in rather than a twin (delta E 6.8).
Nearest in the Revell catalog: Revell Light Blue, workable at tabletop distance, not up close (delta E 6.9).
The drift here is spread thinly across hue, lightness and saturation rather than leaning one way, so the mismatch reads as a general haze at delta E 2.8 rather than an obvious shift.
