In the pot, Medium Green reads as a cool green, dark and moderate. Within the AK Interactive range it ladders cleanly, Ocean Blue for the shadows and Waffen Green for the highlights. Substitutes are thinner on the ground; Vallejo Angel Green is the nearest same-finish option at 85 percent, with 1 brand in strong-match range. Any substitute is a mixing base rather than a drop-in, so tune it on the model.
Medium Green equivalents and near misses
Fair warning: nothing matches AK Interactive Medium Green cleanly. The options below are the least bad, and every one of them drifts.
Closest Vallejo equivalent: Vallejo Angel Green, close, with a hint of drift side by side (delta E 3.0).
Monument Pro Acryl's closest color: Monument Pro Acryl Camo Green, workable at tabletop distance, not up close (delta E 4.3).
Nearest in the Revell catalog: Revell Dark Green (RAL 6020), a usable stand-in rather than a twin (delta E 4.9).
Best Humbrol option: Humbrol Dark Green, workable at tabletop distance, not up close (delta E 5.4).
Worth knowing before you swap: Vallejo Angel Green runs slightly cooler, which shows most where the paint thins over raised detail.
