- Nearest in the Monument Pro Acryl catalog: Monument Pro Acryl Warm Grey, a near match with visible drift up close (delta E 3.3).
- Best Humbrol option: Humbrol Black Grey, close, with a hint of drift side by side (delta E 3.9).
- From Two Thin Coats: Two Thin Coats War Master Green, workable at tabletop distance, not up close (delta E 4.3).
- The P3 Paints pick: P3 Paints Ironhull Grey, a usable stand-in rather than a twin (delta E 4.8).
- Nearest in the Tamiya catalog: Tamiya NATO Black, workable at tabletop distance, not up close (delta E 5.9).
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 2.0 rather than an obvious shift.
