Rainy Grey is a mid-tone muted grey with a neutral cast. It builds a smooth gradient with Walnut underneath and Brown Grey on the highlights, all in the Scale75 line. Rainy Grey is a little less common: the closest same-finish match, Vallejo Lavender Grey, reaches 83 percent, and 1 other brand carries a strong same-finish alternative. Cross-brand swaps are adjust-on-model territory here, useful as a starting point rather than an exact replacement.
Rainy Grey equivalents in other ranges
Rainy Grey is awkward to replace. Treat the matches below as starting points for a mix rather than straight swaps.
Closest Vallejo equivalent: Vallejo Lavender Grey, a near match with visible drift up close (delta E 3.4).
Best Citadel option: Citadel Stormvermin Fur, a usable stand-in rather than a twin (delta E 4.7).
From Monument Pro Acryl: Monument Pro Acryl Bone, workable at tabletop distance, not up close (delta E 4.7).
Green Stuff World's closest color: Green Stuff World Starship Grey, a usable stand-in rather than a twin (delta E 5.2).
The honest caveat: Vallejo Lavender Grey dries slightly lighter than Rainy Grey, so expect recess shading and edge highlights to shift with it.
