Ijn Q1 Anti-Glare Blue-Black equivalents in other ranges
Ijn Q1 Anti-Glare Blue-Black is awkward to replace. Treat the matches below as starting points for a mix rather than straight swaps.
Closest Revell equivalent: Revell Tar Black (RAL 9021), a near match with visible drift up close (delta E 3.1).
Best Humbrol option: Humbrol Coal Black, close, with a hint of drift side by side (delta E 3.5).
From Monument Pro Acryl: Monument Pro Acryl Dark Emerald, workable at tabletop distance, not up close (delta E 4.0).
Tamiya's closest color: Tamiya Semi Gloss Black, a usable stand-in rather than a twin (delta E 4.6).
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 3.1 rather than an obvious shift.
