Camouflage Grey equivalents in other ranges
Several ranges orbit this color without landing on it. Here is the closest each brand manages, nearest first:
- Closest P3 Paints equivalent: P3 Paints Retribution White, close enough that batch variation matters more (delta E 1.7).
- Best AK Interactive option: AK Interactive Raf Light Aircraft Grey Bs381C/627, close, with a hint of drift side by side (delta E 2.3).
- From Vallejo: Vallejo Green Grey, a near match with visible drift up close (delta E 3.9).
- Tamiya's closest color: Tamiya Light Sea Grey, a usable stand-in rather than a twin (delta E 4.0).
- Nearest in the Monument Pro Acryl catalog: Monument Pro Acryl Bright Neutral Grey, workable at tabletop distance, not up close (delta E 4.7).
- Best Citadel option: Citadel Grey Seer, a usable stand-in rather than a twin (delta E 5.2).
Side by side the two agree in lightness and temperature; at delta E 1.7 the gap is smaller than the variation between two pots of the same paint.
