Color-wise this is a moderate, dark green leaning cool. This is a common color; 4 other brands cover it, the nearest being Vallejo Olive Green at 90 percent. It builds a smooth gradient with Olive Drab underneath and Flat Green on the highlights, all in the Tamiya line. Bottom line: run out mid-project and another brand will get you within a shade.
