Brunswick Green equivalents in other ranges
Several ranges orbit this color without landing on it. Here is the closest each brand manages, nearest first:
- Closest Revell equivalent: Revell R.A.F. Dark Green, close enough that batch variation matters more (delta E 1.4).
- Best Citadel option: Citadel Vulkan Green, a swap nobody spots at arm's length (delta E 1.7).
- From Vallejo: Vallejo Black Green, a near match with visible drift up close (delta E 2.9).
- Scale75's closest color: Scale75 Eryn Green, close, with a hint of drift side by side (delta E 3.4).
- Nearest in the Tamiya catalog: Tamiya Dark Green 2, a near match with visible drift up close (delta E 3.7).
- Best AK Interactive option: AK Interactive Ija #27 Ao Midori Iro (Blue-Green), a usable stand-in rather than a twin (delta E 4.2).
Side by side the two agree in lightness and temperature; at delta E 1.4 the gap is smaller than the variation between two pots of the same paint.
