Within the AK Interactive range it ladders cleanly, Sky Grey Fs 36463 for the shadows and Rock Grey for the highlights. Adc Grey Fs 16473 is a little less common: the closest same-finish match, Tamiya Light Sea Grey, reaches 86 percent, and 2 other brands carry a strong same-finish alternative. Cross-brand swaps are adjust-on-model territory here, useful as a starting point rather than an exact replacement.
Adc Grey Fs 16473 equivalents in other ranges
Adc Grey Fs 16473 is awkward to replace. Treat the matches below as starting points for a mix rather than straight swaps.
Closest Tamiya equivalent: Tamiya Light Sea Grey, a near match with visible drift up close (delta E 2.7).
Vallejo's closest color: Vallejo Pale Grey Blue, close, with a hint of drift side by side (delta E 3.5).
Nearest in the Humbrol catalog: Humbrol Camouflage Grey, workable at tabletop distance, not up close (delta E 4.3).
Best Citadel option: Citadel Administratum Grey, a usable stand-in rather than a twin (delta E 5.2).
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 2.7 rather than an obvious shift.
