Color-wise this is a muted, dark green leaning cool. It builds a smooth gradient with Dust Grey (RAL 7012) underneath and Earth brown/Erdfarbe (RAL 7006) on the highlights, all in the Revell line. This color is somewhat distinctive: 1 brand offers a strong same-finish match, AK Interactive Rlm 82 closest at 81 percent. Any substitute is a mixing base rather than a drop-in, so tune it on the model.
Greenish grey/Grüngrau (RAL 7009) equivalents and near misses
Fair warning: nothing matches Revell Greenish grey/Grüngrau (RAL 7009) cleanly. The options below are the least bad, and every one of them drifts.
Closest AK Interactive equivalent: AK Interactive Rlm 82, close, with a hint of drift side by side (delta E 3.7).
The Two Thin Coats pick: Two Thin Coats Emerald Green, workable at tabletop distance, not up close (delta E 4.3).
Nearest in the Humbrol catalog: Humbrol Uniform Green, a usable stand-in rather than a twin (delta E 5.2).
Best The Army Painter option: The Army Painter Medieval Forest, workable at tabletop distance, not up close (delta E 5.4).
The drift here is spread thinly across hue, lightness and saturation rather than leaning one way, so the mismatch reads as a general haze at delta E 3.7 rather than an obvious shift.
