- Closest AK Interactive equivalent: AK Interactive Light Green Uniform, a swap nobody spots at arm's length (delta E 1.9).
- Best Tamiya option: Tamiya Olive Green, a near match with visible drift up close (delta E 2.6).
- From Humbrol: Humbrol US Light Green, close, with a hint of drift side by side (delta E 3.6).
- Vallejo's closest color: Vallejo Olive Green, workable at tabletop distance, not up close (delta E 4.2).
- Nearest in the Revell catalog: Revell Fern green/Farngrün (RAL 6025), a usable stand-in rather than a twin (delta E 4.7).

We checked the Lab numbers for a hidden catch and there is none: lightness and temperature both line up, so this swap is as safe as they come.
