- 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 4.4).
- Green Stuff World's closest color: Green Stuff World Overlord Olive, workable at tabletop distance, not up close (delta E 4.5).

- Best Monument Pro Acryl option: Monument Pro Acryl Dark Yellow Green, workable at tabletop distance, not up close (delta E 7.9).
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.
