Cross-brand results

Prussian Green equivalents and near misses

Fair warning: nothing matches Green Stuff World Prussian Green cleanly. The options below are the least bad, and every one of them drifts.

Closest Humbrol equivalent: Humbrol Dark Green, close, with a hint of drift side by side (delta E 3.1).

Nearest in the Vallejo catalog: Vallejo Dark Green, a near match with visible drift up close (delta E 3.5).

Best AK Interactive option: AK Interactive Dark Green, a usable stand-in rather than a twin (delta E 4.1).

From Revell: Revell R.A.F. Dark Green, workable at tabletop distance, not up close (delta E 4.1).

The honest caveat: Humbrol Dark Green dries slightly lighter than Prussian Green, so expect recess shading and edge highlights to shift with it.
