Matt US Dark Green equivalents in other ranges
No brand clones Matt US Dark Green outright, but 3 ranges come close enough to swap. The best candidate from each catalog:
- Closest Revell equivalent: Revell Dark green RAF/Dunkelgrün RAF, close enough that batch variation matters more (delta E 1.9).
- From AK Interactive: AK Interactive Ijn D1 Deep Green Black, close, with a hint of drift side by side (delta E 2.1).
- Vallejo's closest color: Vallejo Black Green, a near match with visible drift up close (delta E 2.1).
- Nearest in the Tamiya catalog: Tamiya Dark Green, close, with a hint of drift side by side (delta E 3.6).
- Best Scale75 option: Scale75 Eryn Green, workable at tabletop distance, not up close (delta E 4.1).

Side by side the two agree in lightness and temperature; at delta E 1.9 the gap is smaller than the variation between two pots of the same paint.
