Color-wise this is a moderate, mid-tone brown leaning warm. For modelling, drop to Ral 8000 Gelbbraun in the recesses and step up to Ija #30 Karekusa Iro (Dry Grass) on the edges, both AK Interactive paints. Substitutes are thinner on the ground; Vallejo Green Brown is the nearest same-finish option at 90 percent, with 1 brand 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 7008 Graugrün equivalents, brand by brand
No brand clones Ral 7008 Graugrün outright, but 1 range comes close enough to swap. The best candidate from each catalog:
- Closest Vallejo equivalent: Vallejo Green Brown, a swap nobody spots at arm's length (delta E 1.9).
- From Revell: Revell Africa Brown/Afrikabraun, workable at tabletop distance, not up close (delta E 4.2).
- Tamiya's closest color: Tamiya Khaki Drab, a usable stand-in rather than a twin (delta E 4.4).
- Nearest in the The Army Painter catalog: The Army Painter Burnt Turf, workable at tabletop distance, not up close (delta E 4.5).
- Best Green Stuff World option: Green Stuff World Desert Camo, a usable stand-in rather than a twin (delta E 5.0).
- From P3 Paints: P3 Paints Jack Bone, workable at tabletop distance, not up close (delta E 6.5).
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.
