Ijn J3 Sp (Amber Grey) equivalents, brand by brand
Several ranges orbit this color without landing on it. Here is the closest each brand manages, nearest first:
- Closest Revell equivalent: Revell Greyish Green (RAL 6013), close, with a hint of drift side by side (delta E 2.2).
- Best P3 Paints option: P3 Paints Thrall Flesh, a near match with visible drift up close (delta E 3.4).
- From Monument Pro Acryl: Monument Pro Acryl Dark Ivory, a usable stand-in rather than a twin (delta E 5.1).
- Tamiya's closest color: Tamiya JA Grey, workable at tabletop distance, not up close (delta E 5.4).
- Nearest in the Two Thin Coats catalog: Two Thin Coats Kobold Grey, a usable stand-in rather than a twin (delta E 5.5).
- Best Humbrol option: Humbrol Khaki Drill, workable at tabletop distance, not up close (delta E 5.7).
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 2.2 rather than an obvious shift.
