No shortage of substitutes here, Flat Green from Vallejo matches at 82 percent and 3 brands carry a strong same-finish near-match. In the pot, Dark Green reads as a cool green, dark and moderate. It builds a smooth gradient with Dark Green underneath and Dark Green 3 on the highlights, all in the Tamiya line. In practice you can substitute across brands here without anyone noticing at arm's length.
Dark Green equivalents and near misses
Fair warning: nothing matches Tamiya Dark Green cleanly. The options below are the least bad, and every one of them drifts.
Closest Vallejo equivalent: Vallejo Flat Green, close, with a hint of drift side by side (delta E 3.5).
From AK Interactive: AK Interactive Dark Green, a near match with visible drift up close (delta E 3.8).
Scale75's closest color: Scale75 Baby Leaf Green, close, with a hint of drift side by side (delta E 3.9).
Nearest in the Green Stuff World catalog: Green Stuff World Field Green-Grey, workable at tabletop distance, not up close (delta E 4.3).
Check it on a spare model first, because Vallejo Flat Green sits slightly more muted than the original and the difference grows over large flat panels.
