Bastion Grey equivalents in other ranges
No brand clones Bastion Grey outright, but 2 ranges come close enough to swap. The best candidate from each catalog:
- Closest Vallejo equivalent: Vallejo Olive Grey, close enough that batch variation matters more (delta E 1.8).
- Nearest in the AK Interactive catalog: AK Interactive Ral 6003 Olivgrün Opt.2, a swap nobody spots at arm's length (delta E 1.9).
- Best Revell option: Revell Olive grey/Olivgrau (RAL 7010), a near match with visible drift up close (delta E 3.5).
- From Green Stuff World: Green Stuff World Overlord Olive, a usable stand-in rather than a twin (delta E 5.7).
- Humbrol's closest color: Humbrol Olive Drab, workable at tabletop distance, not up close (delta E 6.4).
- Nearest in the Citadel catalog: Citadel Death Korps Drab, a usable stand-in rather than a twin (delta E 6.6).
Side by side the two agree in lightness and temperature; at delta E 1.8 the gap is smaller than the variation between two pots of the same paint.
