Color-wise this is a vivid, very dark teal leaning cool. For modelling, drop to Tar Black (RAL 9021) in the recesses and step up to Granite Grey/Granitgrau (RAL 7026) on the edges, both Revell paints. Black green/Schwarzgrün 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/Schwarzgrün equivalents and near misses
Fair warning: nothing matches Revell Black green/Schwarzgrün 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).
AK Interactive's closest color: AK Interactive Ija #27 Ao Midori Iro (Blue-Green), a near match with visible drift up close (delta E 3.1).
Nearest in the Green Stuff World catalog: Green Stuff World Prussian Green, a usable stand-in rather than a twin (delta E 5.0).
Best Citadel option: Citadel Lupercal Green, workable at tabletop distance, not up close (delta E 5.0).
The honest caveat: Vallejo Scurvy Green dries slightly lighter than Black green/Schwarzgrün, so expect recess shading and edge highlights to shift with it.
