Color-wise this is a moderate, dark brown leaning warm. For modelling, drop to Leather Brown in the recesses and step up to Pc10 Late on the edges, both AK Interactive paints. Substitutes are thinner on the ground; Vallejo Cayman Green is the nearest same-finish option at 83 percent, with 2 brands in strong-match range. Any substitute is a mixing base rather than a drop-in, so tune it on the model.
Us Dark Green equivalents and near misses
Fair warning: nothing matches AK Interactive Us Dark Green cleanly. The options below are the least bad, and every one of them drifts.
Closest Vallejo equivalent: Vallejo Cayman Green, close, with a hint of drift side by side (delta E 3.4).
Best P3 Paints option: P3 Paints Bastion Grey, a near match with visible drift up close (delta E 3.6).
From Green Stuff World: Green Stuff World Overlord Olive, a usable stand-in rather than a twin (delta E 5.1).
Revell's closest color: Revell Olive grey/Olivgrau (RAL 7010), workable at tabletop distance, not up close (delta E 5.8).
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 3.4 rather than an obvious shift.
