Immortal Black equivalents, brand by brand
No brand clones Immortal Black outright, but 1 range comes close enough to swap. The best candidate from each catalog:
- Closest Monument Pro Acryl equivalent: Monument Pro Acryl Petroleum Brown, close, with a hint of drift side by side (delta E 2.0).
- Vallejo's closest color: Vallejo Charcoal, a near match with visible drift up close (delta E 3.7).
- Nearest in the AK Interactive catalog: AK Interactive Brown Black, close, with a hint of drift side by side (delta E 3.8).
- Best Citadel option: Citadel Corvus Black, workable at tabletop distance, not up close (delta E 4.4).
- From The Army Painter: The Army Painter Night Sky, a usable stand-in rather than a twin (delta E 5.3).
- Green Stuff World's closest color: Green Stuff World Barrel Grey, workable at tabletop distance, not up close (delta E 5.7).
The drift here is spread thinly across hue, lightness and saturation rather than leaning one way, so the mismatch reads as a general haze at delta E 2.0 rather than an obvious shift.
