Color-wise this is a muted, dark green leaning cool. Matching it is straightforward: Vallejo Gunship Green lands at 92 percent in the same finish, and 5 brands in all carry a close same-finish swap. It builds a smooth gradient with Baby Leaf Green underneath and Druid Green on the highlights, all in the Scale75 line. Bottom line: run out mid-project and another brand will get you within a shade.
Ardenes Green equivalents, brand by brand
Several ranges orbit this color without landing on it. Here is the closest each brand manages, nearest first:
- Closest Vallejo equivalent: Vallejo Gunship Green, a swap nobody spots at arm's length (delta E 1.6).
- Best Revell option: Revell Olive Green (RAL 6003), close enough that batch variation matters more (delta E 1.9).
- From AK Interactive: AK Interactive Medium Green 42, close, with a hint of drift side by side (delta E 2.5).
- Humbrol's closest color: Humbrol WW1 Green, a near match with visible drift up close (delta E 2.7).
- Nearest in the The Army Painter catalog: The Army Painter Woodland Camo, close, with a hint of drift side by side (delta E 2.8).
- Best Tamiya option: Tamiya NATO Green, workable at tabletop distance, not up close (delta E 6.1).
We checked the Lab numbers for a hidden catch and there is none: lightness and temperature both line up, so this swap is as safe as they come.
