- Best AK Interactive option: AK Interactive Afro Shadow, close enough that batch variation matters more (delta E 1.8).
- From Revell: Revell Black/Schwarz (RAL 9005), close, with a hint of drift side by side (delta E 2.1).
- Citadel's closest color: Citadel Corvus Black, a near match with visible drift up close (delta E 2.9).
- Nearest in the Humbrol catalog: Humbrol Gloss Black, close, with a hint of drift side by side (delta E 2.9).

Side by side the two agree in lightness and temperature; at delta E 0.5 the gap is smaller than the variation between two pots of the same paint.
