- From Monument Pro Acryl: Monument Pro Acryl Bright Neutral Grey, a swap nobody spots at arm's length (delta E 1.8).
- AK Interactive's closest color: AK Interactive Raf Sky Grey, close enough that batch variation matters more (delta E 1.9).
- Nearest in the Vallejo catalog: Vallejo Sky Grey, close, with a hint of drift side by side (delta E 2.1).
- Best Tamiya option: Tamiya Light Sea Grey, a near match with visible drift up close (delta E 3.0).
