Raf Dark Green sits in the grey family: dark in tone, muted in saturation, neutral in cast. For modelling, drop to Dark Olive Drab 41 in the recesses and step up to Raf Dark Earth on the edges, both AK Interactive paints. Substitutes are thinner on the ground; Two Thin Coats Eidolon Grey is the nearest same-finish option at 91 percent, with 2 brands in strong-match range. A cross-brand swap will get you most of the way, but eyeball it against the original first.
