Dark Green sits in the green family: dark in tone, moderate in saturation, cool in cast. No shortage of substitutes here, Sea Green (RAL 6028) from Revell matches at 84 percent and 4 brands carry a strong same-finish near-match. For modelling, drop to Wwi German Dark Green in the recesses and step up to Emerald on the edges, both AK Interactive paints. Treat it as an easy swap, just confirm the finish type matches before you commit.

From Scale75: Scale75 Baby Leaf Green, close, with a hint of drift side by side (delta E 3.9).
Check it on a spare model first, because Revell Sea Green (RAL 6028) sits slightly cooler than the original and the difference grows over large flat panels.
