Brownish Green sits in the brown family: dark in tone, moderate in saturation, warm in cast. For modelling, drop to Camouflage Green in the recesses and step up to Rlm 71 on the edges, both AK Interactive paints. Substitutes are thinner on the ground; Vallejo Grey Brown is the nearest same-finish option at 87 percent, with 2 brands in strong-match range. Cross-brand swaps are adjust-on-model territory here, useful as a starting point rather than an exact replacement.
Brownish Green equivalents in other ranges
Brownish Green is awkward to replace. Treat the matches below as starting points for a mix rather than straight swaps.
Closest Vallejo equivalent: Vallejo Grey Brown, a near match with visible drift up close (delta E 2.5).
Nearest in the P3 Paints catalog: P3 Paints Battle Dress Green, close, with a hint of drift side by side (delta E 2.6).
Best Tamiya option: Tamiya Olive Drab 2, workable at tabletop distance, not up close (delta E 7.3).
From Revell: Revell N.A.T.O. Olive/N.A.T.O.-Oliv (RAL 7013), a usable stand-in rather than a twin (delta E 8.0).
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 2.5 rather than an obvious shift.
