In the pot, Black Green reads as a neutral black, very dark and muted. Matching it is straightforward: P3 Paints Greatcoat Grey lands at 90 percent in the same finish, and 5 brands in all carry a close same-finish swap. For modelling, drop to Dark Burgundy in the recesses and step up to Dark Neutral Grey on the edges, both Monument Pro Acryl paints.
