Matching it is straightforward: Citadel XV-88 lands at 86 percent in the same finish, and 3 brands in all carry a close same-finish swap. British Khaki sits in the brown family: dark in tone, moderate in saturation, warm in cast. For modelling, drop to Nº8 Earth Red (Fs 30117) in the recesses and step up to Ral 6003 Olivgrün Opt.1 on the edges, both AK Interactive paints. Bottom line: run out mid-project and another brand will get you within a shade.
British Khaki equivalents in other ranges
British Khaki is awkward to replace. Treat the matches below as starting points for a mix rather than straight swaps.
Closest Citadel equivalent: Citadel XV-88, a near match with visible drift up close (delta E 2.9).
Best Green Stuff World option: Green Stuff World English Field Brown, close, with a hint of drift side by side (delta E 2.9).
From Vallejo: Vallejo English Uniform, a near match with visible drift up close (delta E 3.6).
The P3 Paints pick: P3 Paints Beast Hide, a usable stand-in rather than a twin (delta E 4.4).
Worth knowing before you swap: Citadel XV-88 runs clearly warmer and more saturated, which shows most where the paint thins over raised detail.
