German Field Grey equivalents and near misses
Fair warning: nothing matches AK Interactive German Field Grey cleanly. The options below are the least bad, and every one of them drifts.
Closest Vallejo equivalent: Vallejo Camouflage Olive Green, close, with a hint of drift side by side (delta E 2.7).
Best P3 Paints option: P3 Paints Bastion Grey, a near match with visible drift up close (delta E 2.9).
From Revell: Revell Yellow Olive/Gelb Olive, close, with a hint of drift side by side (delta E 3.0).
Green Stuff World's closest color: Green Stuff World Overlord Olive, workable at tabletop distance, not up close (delta E 4.5).
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 2.7 rather than an obvious shift.
