Dark Ivory sits in the grey family: mid-tone in tone, muted in saturation, warm in cast. Within the Monument Pro Acryl range it ladders cleanly, Faded Green for the shadows and Tan Flesh for the highlights. Dark Ivory is a little less common: the closest same-finish match, The Army Painter Grey Castle, reaches 82 percent, and 1 other brand carries a strong same-finish alternative. Cross-brand swaps are adjust-on-model territory here, useful as a starting point rather than an exact replacement.
Dark Ivory equivalents in other ranges
Dark Ivory is awkward to replace. Treat the matches below as starting points for a mix rather than straight swaps.
Closest The Army Painter equivalent: The Army Painter Grey Castle, a near match with visible drift up close (delta E 3.6).
Nearest in the AK Interactive catalog: AK Interactive Ijn J3 Hai-iro (Grey), a usable stand-in rather than a twin (delta E 4.2).
Best Revell option: Revell Stone Grey (RAL 7030), workable at tabletop distance, not up close (delta E 4.4).
From Two Thin Coats: Two Thin Coats Kobold Grey, a usable stand-in rather than a twin (delta E 5.0).
The honest caveat: The Army Painter Grey Castle dries slightly lighter than Dark Ivory, so expect recess shading and edge highlights to shift with it.
