In the pot, Greyish Blue (RAL 7031) reads as a cool grey, dark and muted. Within the Revell range it ladders cleanly, Dust Grey (RAL 7012) for the shadows and Gunship Grey USAF/Geschützgrau USAF for the highlights. Greyish Blue (RAL 7031) is a little less common: the closest same-finish match, AK Interactive French Army Green, reaches 88 percent, and 2 other brands carry a strong same-finish alternative. Expect a close but not identical result from a swap, so check it on the model before committing a whole unit.
