Color-wise this is a muted, light grey leaning neutral. It builds a smooth gradient with Great Hall Grey underneath and Jasper Skin on the highlights, all in the The Army Painter line. Company Grey is a little less common: the closest same-finish match, Humbrol Light Grey, reaches 87 percent, and 2 other brands carry a strong same-finish alternative. Any substitute is a mixing base rather than a drop-in, so tune it on the model.
Company Grey equivalents and near misses
Fair warning: nothing matches The Army Painter Company Grey cleanly. The options below are the least bad, and every one of them drifts.
Closest Humbrol equivalent: Humbrol Light Grey, close, with a hint of drift side by side (delta E 2.6).
Nearest in the Tamiya catalog: Tamiya Light Grey, a near match with visible drift up close (delta E 2.8).
Best Monument Pro Acryl option: Monument Pro Acryl Bold Titanium White, a usable stand-in rather than a twin (delta E 4.6).
From AK Interactive: AK Interactive Light Grey Fs 36495, workable at tabletop distance, not up close (delta E 4.7).
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 2.6 rather than an obvious shift.
