Matching it is straightforward: Vallejo Abyssal Turquoise lands at 90 percent in the same finish, and 3 brands in all carry a close same-finish swap. Blue/Blau is a very dark moderate blue with a cool undertone. Within the Revell range it ladders cleanly, Anthracite Grey for the shadows and Night blue/Nachtblau (RAL 5022) for the highlights. In practice you can substitute across brands here without anyone noticing at arm's length.
Blue/Blau equivalents in other ranges
No brand clones Blue/Blau outright, but 1 range comes close enough to swap. The best candidate from each catalog:
- Closest Vallejo equivalent: Vallejo Abyssal Turquoise, close enough that batch variation matters more (delta E 2.0).
- Best AK Interactive option: AK Interactive Light Prussian Blue, close, with a hint of drift side by side (delta E 2.6).
- From The Army Painter: The Army Painter Deep Ocean Blue, a near match with visible drift up close (delta E 3.8).
- Monument Pro Acryl's closest color: Monument Pro Acryl Payne's Grey, a usable stand-in rather than a twin (delta E 4.3).
- Nearest in the Scale75 catalog: Scale75 Siesta Blue, workable at tabletop distance, not up close (delta E 5.1).
- Best Green Stuff World option: Green Stuff World Steel Grey, a usable stand-in rather than a twin (delta E 6.6).
Side by side the two agree in lightness and temperature; at delta E 2.0 the gap is smaller than the variation between two pots of the same paint.
