Deck Green equivalents and near misses
Fair warning: nothing matches Humbrol Deck Green cleanly. The options below are the least bad, and every one of them drifts.
Closest Revell equivalent: Revell Dark Green/Dunkelgrun, close, with a hint of drift side by side (delta E 3.0).
The Two Thin Coats pick: Two Thin Coats Emerald Green, a near match with visible drift up close (delta E 3.6).
Nearest in the Scale75 catalog: Scale75 Baby Leaf Green, close, with a hint of drift side by side (delta E 3.9).
Best Vallejo option: Vallejo Deep Green, workable at tabletop distance, not up close (delta E 4.8).
The honest caveat: Revell Dark Green/Dunkelgrun dries slightly darker than Deck Green, so expect recess shading and edge highlights to shift with it.
