British Uniform Lights is a mid-tone moderate brown with a warm undertone. For modelling, drop to Field Green Fs 34097 in the recesses and step up to Ija #30 Karekusa Iro (Dry Grass) on the edges, both AK Interactive paints. This color is somewhat distinctive: 2 brands offer a strong same-finish match, P3 Paints Rucksack Tan closest at 84 percent. Cross-brand swaps are adjust-on-model territory here, useful as a starting point rather than an exact replacement.
British Uniform Lights equivalents in other ranges

Closest P3 Paints equivalent: P3 Paints Rucksack Tan, a near match with visible drift up close (delta E 3.2).
From Scale75: Scale75 Arabic Shadow, close, with a hint of drift side by side (delta E 3.6).
Green Stuff World's closest color: Green Stuff World Mustard Yellow, workable at tabletop distance, not up close (delta E 4.2).
Nearest in the Revell catalog: Revell Khaki (RAL 8000), a usable stand-in rather than a twin (delta E 4.5).
Worth knowing before you swap: P3 Paints Rucksack Tan runs clearly warmer and more saturated, which shows most where the paint thins over raised detail.
