Color-wise this is a vivid, mid-tone green leaning cool. No shortage of substitutes here, Mid Green from Humbrol matches at 100 percent and 3 brands carry a strong same-finish near-match. Within the Tamiya range it ladders cleanly, Flat Green for the shadows and Park Green for the highlights. In practice you can substitute across brands here without anyone noticing at arm's length.
Green equivalents across other brands
The short answer: yes, Green has a true equivalent. If the pot runs dry mid project, here is the closest color each brand offers.
Closest Humbrol equivalent: Humbrol Mid Green, indistinguishable once dry (delta E 0.0).
- From Revell: Revell Bright Emerald Green (RAL 6029), close, with a hint of drift side by side (delta E 3.3).
- The Army Painter's closest color: The Army Painter Rainforest, a near match with visible drift up close (delta E 3.4).
- Nearest in the Citadel catalog: Citadel Kabalite Green, a usable stand-in rather than a twin (delta E 4.1).
- Best P3 Paints option: P3 Paints Arcantrik Green, workable at tabletop distance, not up close (delta E 5.5).
- From Scale75: Scale75 Cthulhu Green, a usable stand-in rather than a twin (delta E 6.3).
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.
