Field Grey equivalents in other ranges
No brand clones Field Grey outright, but 3 ranges come close enough to swap. The best candidate from each catalog:
- Closest Revell equivalent: Revell Medium Grey USAF/Mittelgrau, close enough that batch variation matters more (delta E 1.4).
- From The Army Painter: The Army Painter Medieval Forest, a swap nobody spots at arm's length (delta E 2.0).
- Scale75's closest color: Scale75 Field Grey, a near match with visible drift up close (delta E 2.2).
- Nearest in the Vallejo catalog: Vallejo Pacific Green, close, with a hint of drift side by side (delta E 3.6).
- Best Humbrol option: Humbrol Interior Green, a near match with visible drift up close (delta E 3.9).
- From Monument Pro Acryl: Monument Pro Acryl Faded Green, a usable stand-in rather than a twin (delta E 4.1).
Side by side the two agree in lightness and temperature; at delta E 1.4 the gap is smaller than the variation between two pots of the same paint.
