Mid Green is a mid-tone vivid green with a cool undertone. No shortage of substitutes here, Green from Tamiya matches at 100 percent and 3 brands carry a strong same-finish near-match. For modelling, drop to Grass Green in the recesses and step up to Emerald Green on the edges, both Humbrol paints. In practice you can substitute across brands here without anyone noticing at arm's length.
Mid Green equivalents in other ranges
This is one of the easy ones. A same finish twin exists, and 4 brands in the catalog land close enough to consider.
Closest Tamiya equivalent: Tamiya Green, the same color for practical purposes (delta E 0.0).
- Best Revell option: Revell Bright Emerald Green (RAL 6029), a near match with visible drift up close (delta E 3.3).
- From The Army Painter: The Army Painter Rainforest, close, with a hint of drift side by side (delta E 3.4).
- Citadel's closest color: Citadel Kabalite Green, workable at tabletop distance, not up close (delta E 4.1).
- Nearest in the P3 Paints catalog: P3 Paints Arcantrik Green, a usable stand-in rather than a twin (delta E 5.5).
- Best Scale75 option: Scale75 Cthulhu Green, workable at tabletop distance, not up close (delta E 6.3).
Side by side the two agree in lightness and temperature; at delta E 0.0 the gap is smaller than the variation between two pots of the same paint.
