Color-wise this is a moderate, dark brown leaning warm. For modelling, drop to Splittermuster Green Spots in the recesses and step up to Camouflage Green on the edges, both AK Interactive paints. Substitutes are thinner on the ground; P3 Paints Bastion Grey is the nearest same-finish option at 90 percent, with 2 brands in strong-match range. Expect a close but not identical result from a swap, so check it on the model before committing a whole unit.
Ral 6003 Olivgrün Opt.2 equivalents, brand by brand
Several ranges orbit this color without landing on it. Here is the closest each brand manages, nearest first:
- Closest P3 Paints equivalent: P3 Paints Bastion Grey, a swap nobody spots at arm's length (delta E 1.9).
- Best Vallejo option: Vallejo Olive Grey, a near match with visible drift up close (delta E 3.7).
- From Revell: Revell N.A.T.O. Olive/N.A.T.O.-Oliv (RAL 7013), a usable stand-in rather than a twin (delta E 4.2).
- Green Stuff World's closest color: Green Stuff World Overlord Olive, workable at tabletop distance, not up close (delta E 4.8).
- Nearest in the Humbrol catalog: Humbrol Khaki Drab, a usable stand-in rather than a twin (delta E 7.5).
- Best Monument Pro Acryl option: Monument Pro Acryl Dark Yellow Green, only a loose relative (delta E 8.2).
We checked the Lab numbers for a hidden catch and there is none: lightness and temperature both line up, so this swap is as safe as they come.
