Rlm 73 sits in the grey family: dark in tone, muted in saturation, neutral in cast. Matching it is straightforward: Two Thin Coats Wyvern Green lands at 92 percent in the same finish, and 5 brands in all carry a close same-finish swap. It builds a smooth gradient with Wwi German Dark Green underneath and Russian Green 4Bo on the highlights, all in the AK Interactive line. Bottom line: run out mid-project and another brand will get you within a shade.
Rlm 73 equivalents in other ranges
No brand clones Rlm 73 outright, but 3 ranges come close enough to swap. The best candidate from each catalog:
- Closest Two Thin Coats equivalent: Two Thin Coats Wyvern Green, close enough that batch variation matters more (delta E 1.5).
- Best P3 Paints option: P3 Paints Pyg Grey, a swap nobody spots at arm's length (delta E 1.9).
- From Citadel: Citadel Death Korps Drab, a near match with visible drift up close (delta E 2.5).
- Humbrol's closest color: Humbrol Matt Olive Drab, close, with a hint of drift side by side (delta E 3.4).
- Nearest in the Vallejo catalog: Vallejo German Uniform, a near match with visible drift up close (delta E 3.5).
- Best Revell option: Revell Yellow Olive/Gelb Olive, a usable stand-in rather than a twin (delta E 4.8).
Side by side the two agree in lightness and temperature; at delta E 1.5 the gap is smaller than the variation between two pots of the same paint.
