In the pot, Overlord Olive reads as a warm brown, dark and moderate. For modelling, drop to Prussian Green in the recesses and step up to Ranger Green on the edges, both Green Stuff World paints. Overlord Olive is a little less common: the closest same-finish match, AK Interactive Reflective Green, reaches 91 percent, and 2 other brands carry a strong same-finish alternative. Expect a close but not identical result from a swap, so check it on the model before committing a whole unit.
