Color-wise this is a moderate, mid-tone green leaning cool. Within the AK Interactive range it ladders cleanly, Ijn M3 (M) Mitsubishi Interior Green for the shadows and Ral 7008 Graugrün Opt 2 for the highlights. This color is somewhat distinctive: 2 brands offer a strong same-finish match, Vallejo Scorpy Green closest at 84 percent. Any substitute is a mixing base rather than a drop-in, so tune it on the model.
Intermediate Green equivalents and near misses
Fair warning: nothing matches AK Interactive Intermediate Green cleanly. The options below are the least bad, and every one of them drifts.
Closest Vallejo equivalent: Vallejo Scorpy Green, close, with a hint of drift side by side (delta E 3.2).
Nearest in the Citadel catalog: Citadel Loren Forest, a near match with visible drift up close (delta E 3.6).
Best Humbrol option: Humbrol Grass Green, a usable stand-in rather than a twin (delta E 4.5).
From Revell: Revell Fern Green (RAL 6025), workable at tabletop distance, not up close (delta E 4.8).
The honest caveat: Vallejo Scorpy Green dries slightly more saturated than Intermediate Green, so expect recess shading and edge highlights to shift with it.
