Vulkan Green equivalents in other ranges
No brand clones Vulkan Green outright, but 4 ranges come close enough to swap. The best candidate from each catalog:
- Closest Revell equivalent: Revell R.A.F. Dark Green, close enough that batch variation matters more (delta E 1.0).
- Vallejo's closest color: Vallejo Black Green, a swap nobody spots at arm's length (delta E 1.3).
- Nearest in the Humbrol catalog: Humbrol Brunswick Green, close enough that batch variation matters more (delta E 1.7).
- Best Tamiya option: Tamiya Dark Green 2, close, with a hint of drift side by side (delta E 2.1).
- From Scale75: Scale75 Eryn Green, workable at tabletop distance, not up close (delta E 4.1).
- AK Interactive's closest color: AK Interactive Ija #21 Midori Iro (Green), a usable stand-in rather than a twin (delta E 4.7).
Side by side the two agree in lightness and temperature; at delta E 1.0 the gap is smaller than the variation between two pots of the same paint.
