Base · #417A42

Opaque acrylicHumbrol Enamel

Grass Green is a mid-tone moderate green with a cool undertone. Within the Humbrol range it ladders cleanly, US Light Green for the shadows and Mid Green for the highlights. Grass Green is a little less common: the closest same-finish match, Vallejo Scorpy Green, reaches 84 percent, and 1 other brand carries a strong same-finish alternative. Cross-brand swaps are adjust-on-model territory here, useful as a starting point rather than an exact replacement.

Grass Green equivalents in other ranges

Grass Green is awkward to replace. Treat the matches below as starting points for a mix rather than straight swaps.

Closest Vallejo equivalent: Vallejo Scorpy Green, a near match with visible drift up close (delta E 3.3).

From AK Interactive: AK Interactive Intermediate Green, a usable stand-in rather than a twin (delta E 4.5).

Tamiya's closest color: Tamiya Flat Green, workable at tabletop distance, not up close (delta E 4.8).

Nearest in the Monument Pro Acryl catalog: Monument Pro Acryl Bright Green, a usable stand-in rather than a twin (delta E 5.6).

The honest caveat: Vallejo Scorpy Green dries slightly warmer and more saturated than Grass Green, so expect recess shading and edge highlights to shift with it.
