In the pot, Black Green RLM70 reads as a cool teal, very dark and vivid. It builds a smooth gradient with Tar Black (RAL 9021) underneath and Granite Grey/Granitgrau (RAL 7026) on the highlights, all in the Revell line. Black Green RLM70 is a little less common: the closest same-finish match, Vallejo Scurvy Green, reaches 87 percent, and 2 other brands carry a strong same-finish alternative. Any substitute is a mixing base rather than a drop-in, so tune it on the model.
Black Green RLM70 equivalents and near misses
Fair warning: nothing matches Revell Black Green RLM70 cleanly. The options below are the least bad, and every one of them drifts.
Closest Vallejo equivalent: Vallejo Scurvy Green, close, with a hint of drift side by side (delta E 2.5).
Best AK Interactive option: AK Interactive Ija #27 Ao Midori Iro (Blue-Green), a near match with visible drift up close (delta E 3.1).
From Green Stuff World: Green Stuff World Prussian Green, a usable stand-in rather than a twin (delta E 5.0).
Citadel's closest color: Citadel Lupercal Green, workable at tabletop distance, not up close (delta E 5.0).
Worth knowing before you swap: Vallejo Scurvy Green runs slightly lighter, which shows most where the paint thins over raised detail.
