No shortage of substitutes here, Sea green/Moosgrün (RAL 6005) from Revell matches at 95 percent and 6 brands carry a strong same-finish near-match. Emerald Forest is a dark vivid green with a cool undertone. Highlight it toward Scarab Green, the nearest lighter paint in the The Army Painter lane. Bottom line: run out mid-project and another brand will get you within a shade.
Emerald Forest equivalents in other ranges
Several ranges orbit this color without landing on it. Here is the closest each brand manages, nearest first:
- Closest Revell equivalent: Revell Sea green/Moosgrün (RAL 6005), close enough that batch variation matters more (delta E 1.1).
- From P3 Paints: P3 Paints Eldritch Green, close, with a hint of drift side by side (delta E 2.9).
- Tamiya's closest color: Tamiya Deep Green, a near match with visible drift up close (delta E 3.6).
- Nearest in the Vallejo catalog: Vallejo Deep Green, close, with a hint of drift side by side (delta E 3.7).
- Best Green Stuff World option: Green Stuff World Field Green-Grey, a near match with visible drift up close (delta E 3.9).
