In practice you can substitute across brands here without anyone noticing at arm's length.
Green equivalents, brand by brand
No brand clones Green outright, but 2 ranges come close enough to swap. The best candidate from each catalog:
- Closest Vallejo equivalent: Vallejo Foul Green, a swap nobody spots at arm's length (delta E 1.8).
- AK Interactive's closest color: AK Interactive Cold Green, close enough that batch variation matters more (delta E 1.9).
- Nearest in the The Army Painter catalog: The Army Painter Guardian Green, close, with a hint of drift side by side (delta E 3.0).
- Best Scale75 option: Scale75 Boreal Green, a near match with visible drift up close (delta E 3.6).
- From Monument Pro Acryl: Monument Pro Acryl Bright Jade, close, with a hint of drift side by side (delta E 3.9).
- Revell's closest color: Revell Emerald green/Smaragdgrün (RAL 6029), workable at tabletop distance, not up close (delta E 6.3).
We checked the Lab numbers for a hidden catch and there is none: lightness and temperature both line up, so this swap is as safe as they come.
