Matching it is straightforward: Tamiya IJN Grey lands at 86 percent in the same finish, and 4 brands in all carry a close same-finish swap. In the pot, Rock Grey reads as a neutral grey, light and muted. For modelling, drop to French Army Grey-Blue in the recesses and step up to Raf Sky / Fs 34424 on the edges, both AK Interactive paints. Treat it as an easy swap, just confirm the finish type matches before you commit.
Rock Grey equivalents and near misses
Fair warning: nothing matches AK Interactive Rock Grey cleanly. The options below are the least bad, and every one of them drifts.
Closest Tamiya equivalent: Tamiya IJN Grey, close, with a hint of drift side by side (delta E 2.7).
Best The Army Painter option: The Army Painter Great Hall Grey, a near match with visible drift up close (delta E 2.9).
From Monument Pro Acryl: Monument Pro Acryl Ivory, close, with a hint of drift side by side (delta E 3.3).
Vallejo's closest color: Vallejo Green Grey, a near match with visible drift up close (delta E 3.9).
The drift here is spread thinly across hue, lightness and saturation rather than leaning one way, so the mismatch reads as a general haze at delta E 2.7 rather than an obvious shift.
